Trump indicted over hush money: Rival Ron DeSantis says Florida 'won't assist' in former president's 'extradition'

Firstpost  

New York: Governor Ron DeSantis, one of the predicted rivals of Donald Trump for 2024 Republican nomination for president, said Florida “will not assist in extradition request” of the former US president who has been indictment on “hush money” payment charges. The former US president is being probed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for allegedly falsifying business records in connection with a “hush money” payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 elections. “It is un-American,” said the Florida governor, adding, “The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. The Manhattan District Attorney, in a statement, said they had contacted Trump’s “attorney to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan DA’s Office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment.” Soon after the indictment, Trump took to Truth Social and called the decision “an attack on our country the likes of which has never been seen before.” His team had also put out statements condemning the announcement.
