DeSantis said Trump approved of “Florida … trying to take the lead” in the probe and that it wasn’t in the “ best interest of the country ” for the FBI and Justice Department to be probing the attempt on Trump’s life, given they are prosecuting him in a federal case involving allegedly mishandled classified documents.

Following the second attempt on former President Donald Trump's life in a two-month span, members of Congress say that that Secret Service is "redlined."

The U.S. Secret Service said it was investigating and that the incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m. “The former president is safe,” according to the Secret Service.
