Florida Sues DOJ Over Halted Probe into Trump Assassination Attempt

Attorney General Ashley Moody claims federal authorities are obstructing the state's investigation into the alleged attempt on Donald Trump's life.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit against the DOJ for blocking the state's investigation into the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The DOJ instructed Florida to pause its investigation until the federal probe is completed, citing federal jurisdiction over crimes against public figures.
Governor Ron DeSantis and Moody argue that Florida should be able to pursue state charges against suspect Ryan Routh, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges.
Routh was arrested after being found armed near Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, and is accused of planning the assassination.
The lawsuit emphasizes concerns over federal agencies' credibility, given their ongoing investigations against Trump, and seeks to protect Florida's sovereign rights.
