In anticipation of Special Counsel Jack Smith issuing criminal charges against Donald Trump related to January 6, Trump’s presidential campaign is accusing rival Ron DeSantis’ campaign of colluding with the Biden Department of Justice.

Trump, who received a “target letter” from Smith on July 16, declined Smith’s invitation to speak to a grand jury in Washington, D.C. last week. When he announced that he’d received the target letter, Trump said he believed it was a precursor to an “arrest and indictment.”

The accusation was made in the form of an email blast to supporters with the subject line: “Unholy Alliance: DeSantis Campaign Colluding with Biden’s Weaponized DOJ to Stop President Trump and the MAGA Movement.”

The email reads:

From inception, the DeSantis campaign was doomed. Beginning with a total failure to launch, Ron DeSantis has warmly embraced establishment RINOs and Never Trumpers. Despite millions of dollars spent to promote his candidacy, Ron finds a way to fall to new all-time lows with every coming poll.

Now, amid yet another failed reboot, DeSantis and his establishment handlers have resorted to directly parroting the talking points of radical Leftists.

When Ron DeSanctimonious was most recently summoned before donors to explain his flailing campaign, his top lieutenants admitted to lighting donor money on fire.

Though, even more telling, a top DeSantis fundraiser confessed that their “strategy” relied on endless political prosecutions of President Trump by radical Leftist prosecutors.

As the DeSantis campaign continues to utterly collapse, Ron has shown he’s willing to take the side of deranged, Marxist prosecutors and the radical Left for any shot at stopping the nose dive that has left him in third place, heading only south.

The identity of the “top DeSantis fundraiser” referenced in the Trump email is unclear. The email links to an NBC News story about a gathering of DeSantis donors and fundraisers that occurred in Salt Lake City over the weekend with the purpose of discussing a “reset” of the DeSantis campaign. The piece ends with a quote from Hal Lambert:

Lambert also said that the likelihood of additional Trump indictments will impact the trajectory of the race, and that he thinks at least “there is a possibility” Trump’s legal troubles make it so he must drop out of the race.

“If another indictment out of D.C. comes,” he said, “for example, I could see them fast-tracking that before the end of the year.”

Earlier in the NBC piece, Lambert had also discussed the impact of the Milwaukee debate and the controversy surrounding changes to teaching African American History in Florida schools on the race.
