DeSantis criticizes Trump, Manhattan DA over hush-money case

Season 2023 Episode 12 | 9m 27s

After months of jabs, Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis took aim at Trump for the first time over the hush-money investigation in New York. But DeSantis, who is one of Trump’s likely 2024 challengers, went on to say the Manhattan district attorney’s office was “pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office.”
