The state of Florida is suing the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for attempting to block its independent investigation into the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in West Palm Beach.

Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a complaint against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in the Southern District Court of Florida on Oct. 23, arguing the actions taken by the federal government are a violation of the 10th Amendment, and pose a “genuine threat” to Florida’s ability to investigate state law violations.
