Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked by a high school student whether former President Donald Trump “violated the peaceful transfer of power” on Jan. 6, 2021, and avoided giving a direct answer. This prompted criticism from fellow Republican Chris Christie, who called the question a “yes or no” one. DeSantis responded by saying he had nothing to do with the events of that day and urged against “relitigating” them. The incident has sparked a debate among Republican voters and could have an impact on the 2024 presidential nomination race.
Former President Donald Trump was recently recorded discussing a sensitive military document that he had not declassified while in office, which is consistent with a partial transcript included in his indictment by federal prosecutors this month.

Trump is heard describing the document as "highly confidential, secret" and has since claimed he was not in possession of it when he was talking.
