DeSantis said Trump approved of “Florida … trying to take the lead” in the probe and that it wasn’t in the “ best interest of the country ” for the FBI and Justice Department to be probing the attempt on Trump’s life, given they are prosecuting him in a federal case involving allegedly mishandled classified documents.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday assigned a state investigation into a gunman’s suspected plot to kill former President Donald Trump to the office of Attorney General Ashley Moody, a move that he said was due in part to his distrust in federal law enforcement officials being able to conduct a fair investigation.

A state prosecutor will lead the probe under the supervision of Attorney General Ashley Moody, who said that beginning a simultaneous investigation with the FBI "doesn't mean it's a turf war."
