Florida has taken legal action against the Justice Department in a bid to continue its investigation into the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The state's Attorney General filed a complaint against the Justice Department after being instructed to pause its investigation until the federal probe is completed.
Florida officials were directed not to interview witnesses and were advised to cooperate solely with the federal investigation. The Justice Department cited federal law, which mandates that the FBI investigate attempted assassinations of political figures, suspending state jurisdiction in such cases.
