The governor had state law enforcement agencies kick off a separate investigation from the federal government and said he had Trump’s blessing.

Deputies from the Martin County Sheriff's Office met with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago following the capture of a man who allegedly attempted to assassinate him.

Florida's governor said Tuesday the state will run its own investigation and seek tougher charges against the man suspected of trying to shoot Donald Trump, potentially including attempted murder, as he described federal gun violation counts as inadequate.
