Will not assist with Trump extradition.
Ron DeSantis: "Florida will not assist in an extradition request"
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, considered one of Trump's biggest rivals in the 2024 race, issued a statement condemning the indictment as "un-American," but also said "Florida will not assist in an extradition request."
His statement in full:
"The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head.
It is un-American.
The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.
Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda."
Too bad. Federal law says the governor must give up any person who is demanded by another state. DeSantis can't make Disney bend, what makes anyone think he can refuse New York?
