Florida AG Sues DOJ for Blocking Second Trump Assassination Attempt Investigation by Ryan Routh

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice. The lawsuit alleges that the DOJ is unlawfully blocking Florida's investigation into a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The incident occurred at Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, and Ryan Routh has been charged in connection with the attempt. Moody's lawsuit seeks to allow the state to conduct its own investigation before the federal probe concludes, asserting that the delay may impact the outcome of any state-level legal actions. The lawsuit aims to vindicate Florida's sovereign interest and has been filed in Judge Aileen Cannon's division.
