The Tallahassee Democrat reports:
Former President Donald Trump’s post-election screed labeling Florida’s governor “Ron DeSanctimonious” didn’t go unnoticed by Andrew Gillum or his Miami lawyers.
In addition to saying he helped “fix” DeSantis’ campaign after it had “completely fallen apart,” Trump said he also got the feds to intervene “when votes were being stolen” in Broward County.David Markus and Katherine Miller, who are representing Gillum on federal public corruption charges involving donations to his gubernatorial campaign, didn’t fire back at insults Trump hurled at Tallahassee’s former mayor. Instead, they cited Trump’s statement in a motion filed Friday in federal court saying it further supported their request for a hearing on whether the federal government selectively prosecuted Gillum because of his race.

Gillum’s lawyers in court filing today: “Trump’s posts raise serious questions about how exactly Trump ‘fixed’ Desantis’s campaign, what Trump directed the FBI & US Attorneys Office to do, and whether there is any connection to the prosecution of Gillum.”https://t.co/WYkAgt8qWZ

…did Trump just say he sent the FBI to Broward County in 2018 to stop Andrew Gillum from winning…? https://t.co/1AguCT34pO

So it looks like Donald Trump might have helped Ron DeSantis steal the 2018 election from Andrew Gillum.
This needs to be investigated immediately.

Donald Trump interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections. He asked Russia for their help in 2016. He incited an insurrection that almost got VP Pence killed after 2020 election. Now, he’s admitting to interfering in the DeSantis/Gillum election in 2018. Trump belongs in prison.
