In a recent interview with Fox News, DeSantis claimed that if a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vegan-activists-encase-their-feet-in-concrete-to-protest-starbucks-charging-more-for-almond-milk\/\" title=\"Vegan Activists Encase Their Feet in Concrete to Protest Starbucks Charging More for Almond Milk\">ham sandwich<\/a> were a &#8220;Republican ham sandwich,&#8221; a D.C. jury would not \u200chesitate to indict and convict it.<\/p>\n<p>This comment was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/florida-first-lady-casey-desantis-appears-to-fire-back-at-gov-newsom-over-special-olympics-comment\/\" title=\"Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis Appears To Fire Back At Gov.

DeSantis even suggested the idea of importing jurors from different parts of the United States for \u200cthe trial of former President Donald Trump, who was recently indicted by a Washington grand jury \u2062on charges related to the Jan. 6 riot.<\/p>\n<h3>Three Key Takeaways \u200bfrom Donald Trump&#8217;s Third Indictment<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The reality is, a D.C. jury\u200d would indict a ham sandwich and \u2063convict a ham sandwich if it was a Republican ham sandwich,&#8221; DeSantis emphasized during his interview with Fox News host Harris \u200bFaulkner.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200b further expressed his \u200bconcerns about the stacked juries in Washington, stating, &#8220;I think that they&#8217;re going to want to convict people that they disagree with. Or at a minimum, you should be able to draw a jury pool from across the entire country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This comment comes after DeSantis shared his thoughts on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X (formerly known as Twitter) regarding Trump&#8217;s \u200cindictment. He believes that Americans should have the right to remove cases from Washington D.C. \u2064to their home districts, as he perceives the capital as a &#8220;swamp&#8221; with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-claims-dc-jury-would-indict-ham-sandwich-if-it-were-republican\/\" title=\"DeSantis alleges DC jury would charge GOP ham sandwich.\">biased jury mentality<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, who is\u200d considered one of Trump&#8217;s strongest challengers for the Republican presidential nomination, has even floated the idea\u200c of pardoning Trump on his first day in office if\u2063 elected. This pardon would extend to both Trump and the rioters involved\u2063 in the Jan. 6 incident.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has been ordered to appear\u200b in Washington district court on Thursday, \u2064where he is expected to\u200c plead not guilty to all \u2064four charges.
