Not mentioning Donald Trump by name, Governor Ron DeSantis pledged to "end the weaponization of government" in a speech at the Republican North Carolina State convention on Friday night. "Is there a different standard for a Democratic secretary of state versus a former Republican president?" DeSantis said, a reference to the probe into Democrat Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign. "I think there needs to be one standard of justice in this country." The federal indictment against Trump accuses the former president of illegally hoarding classified documents at his Florida estate after leaving the White House in 2021, and then scheming and lying to thwart government efforts to recover them.
