DeSantis Stands by Trump Amid Jan. 6 Indictment Speculation

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated that former President Donald Trump should have done more to prevent the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, but questioned whether his actions were criminal. DeSantis criticized the attempt to "criminalize politics" and expressed concerns about the politicization of the FBI and Department of Justice. If indicted, this would be the third indictment for Trump and the second by Special Counsel Jack Smith in relation to the Jan. 6 investigation.
