Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday he would not be involved in what he called a “manufactured circus” over a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump by a New York prosecutor over allegations that Trump paid hush money to a porn actress before he was elected in 2016.
“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just I can’t speak to that,’’ DeSantis told reporters at a news conference in Panama City, but he instead accused Manhattan’s district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, of being funded by George Soros, a liberal billionaire donor to progressive prosecutors, and suggested that he was not aggressively pursuing routine prosecutions.
“...I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus by some Soros DA,’’ DeSantis said, referring to Bragg. “He’s trying to do a political spectacle.”
