DeSantis leaves out key detail when discussing rival Trump's indictment
DeSantis has referred to Trump as the 'former president' during speeches
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr.'s indictment of former President Donald Trump, while avoiding using Trump's name in speeches.

"Now you have this Manhattan district attorney who has made his whole platform from when he got elected was that he was going to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanors," DeSantis said during an event in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

"He was going to keep as many people out of jail, even habitual criminals as possible. And he was going to go light on all these things as part of, quote, criminal justice reform," DeSantis added. "So, that's his posture. He doesn't want to charge people with felonies. So, now he turns around purely for political purposes and indicts a former president on misdemeanor offenses that they're straining to try to convert into felonies."

DeSantis, a potential rival to Trump in the Republican primary, was seemingly alluding to Bragg's successful indictment of Trump last week, though the Florida governor declined to name either individual.
