He should have come out more forcefully,\u201d DeSantis said at a press conference in Columbia, South Carolina on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>DeSantis said he had not gotten a chance to closely review the news, but went on to speak out against what he said was the weaponization of institutions like the Justice Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut to try to criminalize that, that\u2019s a different issue entirely,\u201d DeSantis said of Trump\u2019s inaction on Jan. 6. \u201cWe want to be in a situation where you don\u2019t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail and that unfortunately is what we\u2019re seeing now.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump said on Tuesday that he has been alerted that he is a target of the Justice Department\u2019s Jan. 6 investigation, which focus on the former president\u2019s attempts to remain in office following his loss in the 2020 presidential election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While it has been clear that Trump\u2019s actions would be a major focus of the probe, the former president pointed out that\u00a0receiving a target letter could mean he will soon face charges. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden\u2019s DOJ, sent a letter (again it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an arrest and indictment,\u201d Trump said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former president has already been charged with a crime twice this year.\u00a0He was charged in Manhattan in April over an alleged hush money scheme to keep quiet an affair. In June, he pleaded not guilty to federal charges over his handling of classified documents upon leaving office.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Despite his legal troubles, Trump has continued to dominate the GOP presidential primary field in the polls and rake in significant amounts of cash in fundraising. DeSantis, on the other hand, has continued to trail Trump in second place in the polls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor has been careful not to criticize Trump too harshly, particularly over his legal issues. Late last month, DeSantis dodged a question about Trump\u2019s role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t anywhere near Washington that day. I have nothing to do with what h<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>ened that day,\u201d he said when asked about the attack during a campaign event in New Hampshire. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cObviously, I didn\u2019t enjoy seeing, you know, what happened. But we gotta go forward on this stuff. We cannot be looking backwards and be mired in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is also among the crowded GOP primary field, hammered DeSantis over the comments. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wasn\u2019t anywhere near Washington. Did he have a TV? Was he alive that day? Did he see what was going on? I mean, that\u2019s one of the most ridiculous answers I\u2019ve heard in this race so far,\u201d Christie said on CNN. <\/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.
