Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sought to distance himself from former President Donald Trump's claim that he would be arrested on Tuesday when he was asked about it at a news conference on Monday.
that he would be arrested Tuesday when he was asked about it at a news conference Monday.
But DeSantis' answer and some of the reaction — or lack of reaction — from other potential 2024 presidential candidates comes at a time when Trump is trying to gain some benefit from the investigation. His campaign has sent out multiple fundraising emails labeling the investigation as a"witch hunt" that will"threaten" his political movement.
In the post, Trump referenced allegations that DeSantis drank alcohol with underage students during his time as a teacher in Georgia. DeSantis has before dismissed this line of attack from Trump and said in February when asked about this, saying"I don't spend my time trying to smear other Republicans."
"I had one person here [in Iowa] who mentioned this issue to me. Everybody else talked to me about issues that are affecting their families, prosperity and security in this country. And that's what my focus will remain," he said.
