🇺🇸 Trump – the clear front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination – had also protected himself with a fig leaf that Republicans are now eagerly waving in his defence 🔎 Analysis by Simon Marks
In Trump’s home base of Florida, the former President secured unexpected assistance from the man who hopes to unseat him. Governor Ron DeSantis, in a further reflection of Trump’s hold over the party, accused Bragg of being “un-American… stretching the law to target a political opponent”. Just for good measure, DeSantis affirmed that he would never agree to sign papers extraditing his colleague to New York.
Given the pace at which the wheels of New York justice grind, any trial of the former president could still be months away. By the time it begins, the 2024 election will be in full sway, giving Trump ongoing opportunities to portray himself as a persecuted martyr and the victim of a political witch-hunt.
