Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) called out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019s (R) \u201ccowardly\u201d response to former President Trump\u2019s indictment last week in New York City. <\/p>\n<p>In a tweet after the indictment was announced on Thursday, DeSantis called the charges against Trump \u201cun-American\u201d and said his state would not assist in any extradition request of Trump, who is expected to voluntarily surrender this week. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>During an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cInside with Jen Psaki,\u201d Psaki asked Schiff, a member of a now-defunct House panel investigating the Jan 6., 2021 attack at the Capitol, about DeSantis\u2019 tweet. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe certainly knows better about the law. He knows what his obligation is to extradite someone who is accused of crime in another state. He\u2019s not a stupid person and he understands this very well,\u201d Schiff told Psaki.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis graduated from Harvard Law School and was a lawyer in the Navy before being elected to Congress in 2012. <\/p>\n<p>Schiff, who officially launched his bid for retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein\u2019s (D-Calif.) seat in January, said that DeSantis is putting his political ambition over any \u201cprinciple\u201d or \u201cscruple\u201d on the matter. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I\u2019m reminded of something Adam Kinzinger, my colleague in the January 6th Committee said when he said, it\u2019s not that he and Liz Cheney are so courageous, it\u2019s just that they\u2019re surrounded by cowards,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is kind of a cowardly action by Ron DeSantis to try to compete with Donald Trump on Trump\u2019s own turf,\u201d Schiff added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Kinzinger, a former Republican representative from Illinois, and Cheney, a former GOP house member from Wyoming, were both members of the Jan. 6 select committee and outspoken critics of Trump. Cheney lost her seat to a Trump-backed candidate, while Kinzinger decided against running for reelection. <\/p>\n<p>A New York grand jury voted to indict Trump on Thursday for his alleged role in organizing a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis was among the many GOP figures who quickly attacked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D).<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American,\u201d DeSantis wrote in his tweet.<\/p>\n<p>However, it remains unclear what charges the former president is facing, as the indictment remains sealed.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who announced his third bid to run for president at his Mar-a-Lago estate in November, is now the first current or former president to face criminal charges. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>DeSantis is seen as a top GOP rival to Trump in the 2024 GOP primary. The Florida governor has indicated that an official announcement on a presidential run will not come until after his state\u2019s legislative session is over later this year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
