This\u2064 incident occurred in September at Trump International Golf Club. Moody, who \u2062previously served as Florida&#8217;s attorney general, faced resistance from federal\u200b entities, particularly the FBI, during her inquiry. She expressed frustration over being barred \u200dfrom \u200cthe crime \u2063scene and encountering suggestions from the FBI\u200b that pursuing a state investigation would be unlawful.<\/p>\n<p>Moody emphasized the alarming proximity of the \u2064would-be assassin to Trump and noted that the situation endangered local citizens, including\u200c a child. In response to\u2064 the\u200c federal obstruction, she sued the \u200dBiden Administration&#8217;s Department of Justice for\u200b interfering with state law enforcement&#8217;s ability\u2063 to conduct the investigation. her comments\u200d highlighted a broader sentiment among state officials,including Florida \u200bGovernor Ron desantis,about the lack of trust in the FBI to provide \u200btruthful accounts of events.

Ashley Moody described the challenges she encountered while investigating the second assassination attempt on now-President Donald Trump. Previously, she was Florida&#8217;s attorney general before being appointed to the Senate seat left vacant by Marco Rubio, who is now Secretary of State. During her tenure as attorney general, she looked into an incident that occurred one September morning at Trump International Golf Club while Trump was golfing. Moody highlighted the significant resistance from federal law enforcement during her inquiry, particularly when questioning Kash Patel, Trump&#8217;s FBI nominee, at his confirmation hearing. She noted that many were astonished a would-be assassin could get so close to a president so soon after an attempt had occurred. Moody stated that both she and Florida law enforcement faced numerous obstacles from federal agencies like the FBI in their investigation efforts, including being barred from accessing the crime scene and being told they might violate laws if they pursued their own investigation. Despite informing federal authorities about a young girl&#8217;s near-fatal experience due to road closures related to the incident, they continued to obstruct state efforts for justice and accountability regarding Trump&#8217;s assassination attempt in Florida. Ultimately, Moody had to sue the Biden Department of Justice for hindering their ability to investigate and prosecute under state laws. Her frustration was evident as she expressed distrust in how the Biden administration handled these matters over recent years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2398203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Patel-v-Moody.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[7076,5591,36155,49715,34974],"class_list":["post-2398202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-doj","tag-fbi","tag-government-accountability","tag-patel-hearing","tag-trump-assassination-attempt"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Patel-v-Moody.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2398202"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2398206,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398202\/revisions\/2398206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2398202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2398202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2398202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
