Ron DeSantis. Trump\u2019s lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, confirmed that the former President will surrender himself to Manhattan if indicted.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis stated in a recent announcement that if requested, his state would not cooperate with authorities. \u201cThe weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head,&#8221; DeSantis said. \u201cIt is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most Republicans who released statements about Trump\u2019s indictment have shared the belief that it represents political persecution. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) recently said, \u201cIt\u2019s a sad state of affairs when socialist DAs would rather pursue a politically motivated witch hunt against President Donald Trump than crack down on violent crime.
