Trump now has backing of SEVEN of Florida's Republican members of Congress: Ex-President gains on DeSantis' home turf as the battle for 2024 endorsements heats up

Former President Donald Trump has clinched the endorsement of three more Florida House members as Gov. Ron DeSantis heads to Washington

Florida GOP Reps. Greg Steube, John Rutherford and Brian Mast all endorsed Trump in the last 24 hours

Before this week, Florida Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz , Anna Paulina Luna, Cory Mills and Byron Donalds had endorsed Trump

US President Donald Trump has clinched the endorsement of three more Florida House members, with GOP Reps. Greg Steube, John Rutherford and Brian Mast backing his 2024 White House run this week.

Trump has now picked off seven members of the Sunshine State's congressional delegation over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has yet to announce a presidential campaign but has been spending time in early primary states.

Before this week, Florida Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz, Anna Paulina Luna, Cory Mills and Byron Donalds had endorsed Trump.

Overall, there are 20 Republicans in Florida's 28 member delegation.

Steube explained his choice for the White House because 'Trump's the only person that can reverse, on day one, all these disastrous policies of the Biden administration.'

DeSantis should 'concentrate on the great job that he's doing' as Florida's governor, Steube suggested.

Rutherford said he was backing Trump because, in his opinion, the former president has been unfairly targeted by the justice system.

'As a former Sheriff, I understand the importance of a fair and impartial system of justice,' he tweeted on Tuesday. 'The systematic targeting of Americans with conservative ideals, especially our 45th President of the United States, disgraces our nation's legacy.'

Mast told CNN Tuesday that he planned to back Trump and would chair the 'Veterans for Trump' group.

Meanwhile, DeSantis doesn't seem to be backing off exploring a presidential bid as he meets with Republican members of Congress on Capitol Hill, making the back-to-back endorsements from three Florida lawmakers, particularly awkward.

From D.C., he'll head to South Carolina, the state that hosts the first southern primary, and headline events in Charleston and Spartanburg.

DeSantis returns to the Hill on Friday for a speech at a Heritage Foundation event.

So far, three GOP House members, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Chip Roy of Texas and Laurel Lee of Florida, who used to work as DeSantis' Secretary of State, have endorsed a DeSantis presidential bid.

Trump has received the endorsement of 45 House members, nine senators and one governor - Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina.

Gaetz encouraged DeSantis and Sen. Ted Cruz, who ran against Trump in 2016, to quickly endorse Trump during a speech he delivered at Trump's Waco, Texas rally last month.

'Only Donald Trump could have rescued us from Hillary Clinton. Without Trump doing three rallies in the final week of the 2018 election in Florida, my governor today would probably be Andrew Gillum,' Gaetz said, referencing DeSantis's 2018 Democratic rival.

'So, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz: patriots of the MAGA movement delivered for you in your time of need,' Gaetz said. 'Today, Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz should endorse Donald Trump for president and stand with us as we were so proud to stand with them.'

Jamie Dimon Is Part Of Jeffrey Epstein’s Web Of Corruption

27:43

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is being forced to testify in a civil suit about his connection to late financier/sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. As journalist Whitney Webb explains, the sordid ties between not only Epstein and Dimon, but also many of the biggest names in the growth of the financial service sector over the past 40 years, along with the government and organized crime reveal an unprecedented web of corruption and sleaze.

Remember when Hillary paid Christopher Steele to produce the Russian collusion hoax and illegally used campaign funds to pay for it?

Why wasn’t she indicted?

“…the Clinton machine failed to publicly report the use of Perkins Coie as a ‘straw man intermediary,’ despite funneling more than $1 million through the firm — a blatant violation of federal campaign finance laws,”

FEC fines Clinton campaign, DNC for spending on Steele dossier to damage Trump in 2016

The Federal Election Commission has fined Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee for failing to disclose campaign spending that ended up in the pocket of Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored a Russian-based dossier to damage Donald Trump.

The FEC fined Mrs. Clinton’s campaign $8,000 and levied a heftier punishment on the DNC, which must pay a $105,000 penalty.

The agency said the two entities “misreported the purpose of certain disbursements.”

The commission issued the fines after receiving a complaint from the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which describes itself as a First Amendment watchdog group.

Neither the DNC nor Mrs. Clinton immediately commented about the FEC ruling.

Mr. Trump proclaimed the FEC fines provided further proof that the Clinton campaign and other Democrats were out to damage him politically through the now-discredited Steele dossier.

“This was done to create, as I have stated many times, and is now confirmed, a hoax funded by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “This corruption is only beginning to be revealed, is un-American, and must never be allowed to happen again. Where do I go to get my reputation back?”

The FEC announced its decision a week after Mr. Trump filed a sweeping lawsuit against Mrs. Clinton, the DNC and others. The lawsuit said they “maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative” that Mr. Trump was colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election. It cites the Steele dossier and lays out how Mrs. Clinton and other Democrats conspired to assemble it as a show of proof of collusion.

“This duplicitous arrangement existed for a singular self-serving purpose — to discredit Donald J. Trump and his campaign,” the lawsuit said.

“This duplicitous arrangement existed for a singular self-serving purpose — to discredit Donald J. Trump and his campaign,” the lawsuit said.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Trump has not responded to a request for a comment about the FEC fines.

The group that filed the FEC complaint accused the Clinton campaign and the DNC of conspiring with foreigners in violation of federal campaign finance law to undermine Mr. Trump, who was then the Republican presidential nominee.

According to the complaint, the Clinton campaign and the DNC used the law firm Perkins Coie to “scheme” with Mr. Steele, a British national, to write and disseminate the salacious and unverified Steele dossier, which was produced using information from current and former Russian government officials.

The dossier sought to tarnish Mr. Trump with such infamous stories as the existence of a “pee tape” that showed Mr. Trump urinating on a mattress in a Moscow hotel room with prostitutes. None of the content of the dossier was ever proved, but it dominated media coverage of Mr. Trump well into his presidency.

In 2017, it was disclosed that the Clinton campaign and DNC attorney Marc Elias paid the Washington research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Mr. Trump and Fusion GPS hired Mr. Steele.

“In the process, the Clinton machine failed to publicly report the use of Perkins Coie as a ‘straw man intermediary,’ despite funneling more than $1 million through the firm — a blatant violation of federal campaign finance laws,” Coolidge Reagan Foundation officials said in a statement. “The fact that Hillary for America and the DNC procured something ‘of value’ from a foreign national — provided by the Kremlin — while failing to publicly acknowledge their relationship with Perkins Coie, amounts to false reporting in unprecedented fashion,” said the statement.

The Steele dossier also played a key role in instigating the FBI to investigate Mr. Trump on accusations that he colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. The bureau relied on it for a yearlong wiretap of a Trump associate. Then-FBI Director James B. Comey reported the dossier contents to Mr. Trump early in his presidency.

Details of that meeting between Mr. Comey and the president were leaked to reporters and justified news media’s decision to begin reporting on the Steele dossier’s wild and unproven claims.

Democratic lawmakers also endorsed the Steele dossier. They included Rep. Adam B. Schiff of California, who was the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence at the time.

Mr. Schiff has not retracted his comments, even though the dossier contents were never proved, nor was there any direct evidence that Mr. Trump colluded with Russia.

Nonetheless, Mr. Schiff said the dossier’s claim that Russia helped Mr. Trump’s campaign “turned out to be all too true.”

The dossier’s contents were debunked in special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page investigative report issued in 2019.

The Steele dossier included at least a dozen accusations of collusion between Mr. Trump and his associates, and Russia. The Clinton campaign provided the dossier to news outlets and the Justice Department.

Mr. Mueller’s investigation of Trump-Russia collusion, which lasted nearly two years and cost taxpayers $32 million, could not confirm a single claim from the Steele dossier.
