In an article on Truth Social, Trump said: “The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Justice Department and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July.
“The charges against the murder maniacal are a slap on the wrist. It’s no wonder, since the Justice Department and the FBI have relentlessly pursued me with an armed legal war since I announced my historic first campaign for president.”
He accused the US government of having a “conflict of interest because it has been obsessed with ‘conquering Trump’ for so long.”
“It is very difficult to trust the Biden/Harris Justice Department and FBI to investigate the assassination attempts, due to the election interference and the FAKE CASES against me, including their control over local prosecutors and attorneys general.”
Trump added that he believed the assassination attempt should be investigated by Mr DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, rather than the federal government.
“The charges filed in Florida would be much more serious than those announced by the FBI,” he said.
“OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND DISCREDITED, especially as it relates to the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. LET FLORIDA HANDLE THIS!”
Prosecutor Mark Dispoto said the government would ask a grand jury to bring more serious charges against Mr. Routh.
