Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that Donald Trump should have been more forceful during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach after the former president announced he was served with a target letter to appear at a grand jury investigation regarding the 2020 election.

Special counsel Jack Smith “sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation,” Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social on Tuesday.
