Staff Reports
Florida Republican Senator Ashley Moody recently shared shocking details about the obstacles she faced while attempting to investigate the second assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. Moody, who previously served as Florida’s attorney general, took on the daunting task of uncovering the facts surrounding this brazen attack that occurred at Trump International Golf Club one sunny September morning while the now-President was enjoying a round of golf.
Moody’s attempts to get to the bottom of this precarious situation were met with astonishing resistance from federal law enforcement agencies, particularly the FBI. During a Senate confirmation hearing for Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee for the FBI director position, Moody highlighted the absurdity of being stonewalled in her investigation. One would think that investigating an assassination attempt on a sitting president would warrant full cooperation, yet it seems that in today’s political climate, federal agencies are more interested in playing obstructionist than in serving the public.

It was revealed that the FBI not only prohibited state law enforcement from accessing the crime scene, but they also failed to share crucial evidence. In a particularly chilling example of bureaucratic roadblocks, Moody’s team was even warned that they could face legal repercussions if they sought to run their independent investigation. To add salt to the wound, a six-year-old girl was nearly harmed during the aftermath of the incident, illustrating the severe ramifications of federal inaction. Apparently, life and limb don’t matter much when it comes to protecting the bureaucracy’s interests.
Caught in this web of red tape, it became clear to Moody and fellow officials, including Governor Ron DeSantis, that the Biden administration’s FBI was not to be trusted with such an important investigation. Faced with federal obstruction, Moody wasn’t just going to sit back and let the FBI stick its head in the sand. Eventually, she had no choice but to file a lawsuit against the Biden Department of Justice, led by the ever-controversial Merrick Garland, to finally assert the state’s right to investigate an event that occurred within its borders.
The saga clearly reflects a larger concern among American conservatives regarding the integrity of federal law enforcement. Many believe that agencies meant to protect the citizens seem more focused on covering up inconvenient truths rather than seeking justice. This troubling trend leaves not only state officials like Moody frustrated but also everyday Americans who demand accountability from the very institutions that are supposed to uphold the law. The scandal surrounding the FBI’s handling of the situation at Trump’s golf course is just another example of an ongoing pattern of federal overreach, and it’s clear that the American people are hungry for change.
