Gov. Ron DeSantis took a swipe at Donald Trump’s sordid legal troubles Monday, but signaled he would intervene on the former president’s behalf if a Manhattan prosecutor tries to extradite Mr. Trump to New York.
Mr. DeSantis, considered Mr. Trump’s leading opponent in the battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, was slammed by some Republicans earlier on Monday after telling reporters he would not get “involved” in any case brought against Mr. Trump.
If an extradition request from Manhattan crosses the governor’s desk, according to a DeSantis aide, “he would not fulfill it.” Mr. DeSantis said Mr. Bragg, a Democrat elected with the help of liberal mega-donor George Soros, has used his office to lower penalties for serious crimes, while choosing, “to go back many, many years to try to use something about porn star hush money payments.”
The governor’s comments prompted an angry response from Mr. Trump, who has increasingly treated Mr. DeSantis as the biggest obstacle to Mr. Trump’s quest to become the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
