DeSantis emphasizes cleaning federal agencies in Durham report.

Gov. DeSantis Calls for Overhaul of Federal Agencies After Durham Report

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is urging for a clean-up of federal agencies following the release of the report from special counsel John Durham on Monday.

DeSantis stated that the report, which investigated the origins and conduct of the FBI investigation into alleged ties between former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia, “confirmed what we already knew” about the “false conspiracy theory” relating to Trump and Russia.

“The Durham Report confirmed what we already knew: weaponized federal agencies manufactured a false conspiracy theory about Trump-Russia collusion,” DeSantis tweeted. “It reminds us of the need to clean house at these agencies, as they’ve never been held accountable for this egregious abuse of power,” DeSantis added.

DeSantis, who previously served in the House, was a critic of the Trump-Russia investigation, calling it a “goose chase” that was wasting time. He believes that the investigation has unnecessarily politicized policy towards Russia and undermined the country’s ability to confront Russia’s malevolence in a unified fashion.

DeSantis’s Call for Federal Agencies to Clean House

DeSantis’s call for federal agencies to clean house comes as the Florida governor is widely expected to announce a White House bid in the coming weeks. DeSantis’s chief rival in the GOP primary would be Trump if the Florida governor decides to run.

The long-awaited report found that there was no proper basis for the FBI and Justice Department to launch an investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Durham concluded in the report that “neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”
