Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sued U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, arguing that the Department of Justice is blocking the state from fully investigating the second assassination attempt of former President Trump in Palm Beach.  

According to the complaint, FBI and DOJ officials acted “almost immediately” to try halting the state’s investigation. 

“In conversations with federal officials and in subsequent correspondence, these officials have stated that Florida may not conduct its own investigation, may not interview witnesses, and may only cooperate with the federal government’s investigation,” read the lawsuit.

Federal authorities indicted suspect Ryan Routh on five counts for allegedly pointing a gun through the bushes at Trump’s golf course in Palm Beach in an apparently assassination attempt.

Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, issued an executive order directing state agencies to make sure the correct state charges are filed against Routh.
