Florida’s prosecutors will pursue a case against the suspect in the apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump over the “most serious straightforward offense, which is attempted murder,” Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday. DeSantis said Tuesday he signed an executive order assigning the case involving the attempted assassination to the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution, which prosecutes crimes that involve two or more judicial circuits in the state. The state of Florida has jurisdiction to pursue charges in a way the federal government cannot, DeSantis said during a news conference in West Palm Beach.
