Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) went after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for the possible indictment of former President Donald Trump on Monday.
DeSantis said at a press conference Bragg said he has not seen any facts regarding an arrest of Trump but did go after Bragg's record on crime, who he lamented as George Soros-funded district attorney who is "pursing a political agenda."

"I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair, I can't speak to that but what I can speak to is that if you have a persecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to back many many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments that is an example of pursing a political agenda and weaponizing the office and I think that is fundamentally wrong," DeSantis said at a press conference on Monday.
The Florida governor discussed how he believes district attorneys who have their campaigns donated to by George Soros make their communities less safe. He also said his office will not get involved in the "manufactured circus," and did not directly answer a question about a potential extradition of Trump.
"We won’t be involved in this. I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus by some Soros DA," DeSantis said. "He’s trying to do a political spectacle. He’s trying to virtue signal for his base. I’ve got real issues I got to deal with here in the state of Florida."

When asked a follow up about if there has been any communication between law enforcement in New York and Florida about potential arraignment of Trump in New York, DeSantis said he was not aware of any conversations between the states.
Trump has stated he believes he will be arrested on Tuesday, after reports circulated suggesting Bragg was readying charges against Trump regarding him paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
