Gov. Ron DeSantis said the 2024 election needs to be a referendum on President Joe Bide and not focus on former President Donald Trump's mounting legal troubles. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the 2024 elections need to be a referendum on President Joe Biden and not focus on former President Donald Trump's legal troubles as another potential indictment looms over the former president. "If the election becomes a referendum on what document was left by the toilet at Mar-a-Lago, we are not going to win," DeSantis said in an interview with ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott at one of his campaign stops in Iowa.

A prosecutor has asked a judge to immediately jail FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, saying he violated his bail conditions by releasing information meant to harass a key witness against him NEW YORK -- NEW YORK (AP) — Sam Bankman-Fried should be immediately jailed, a prosecutor told a federal judge on Wednesday, saying the FTX founder violated his bail conditions by sharing information with a reporter designed to harass a key witness against him. Judge Lewis A.
