Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is celebrating what he calls the end of a politically motivated "witch hunt" after reports emerged that President Trump's Department of Justice has dropped an investigation into the Hope Florida Foundation scandal.

The move marks a stark contrast to the weaponized justice system Americans endured under the Biden regime, which routinely targeted conservative leaders with frivolous investigations while ignoring actual crimes committed by Democrats and their allies.

DeSantis, who has been a key Trump ally and potential future presidential candidate, wasted no time in declaring victory over what many conservatives viewed as yet another attempt by the deep state to kneecap rising Republican stars.

Social media users quickly took notice of the development, with @ddury5 sharing news of DeSantis celebrating the end of the "witch hunt" as Trump's DOJ reportedly dropped the probe. The story highlights how the Trump administration is cleaning house and putting an end to the political persecutions that plagued conservative leaders under Biden.

But while DeSantis celebrates this victory, other issues between Florida and the federal government remain unresolved. Reporter @lmower3 noted that "Florida hasn't been paid $608 million from FEMA for Alligator Alcatraz + immigration efforts" because "Trump's DOJ is blocking it for some reason," according to DeSantis' emergency manager.

The Hope Florida Foundation investigation was widely seen by conservatives as part of the same playbook used against President Trump himself – throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, regardless of the merit of the accusations.

Meanwhile, some Trump supporters are keeping a close eye on DOJ personnel decisions. User @smithson_kit warned that "IF Blanche is still in the DOJ by Valentine's Day, we will know that @realDonaldTrump no longer is listening to WTP," referencing concerns about remaining Biden-era holdovers in the department.

This latest development shows that Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Trump DOJ are serious about ending the weaponization of federal law enforcement that became a hallmark of the Biden years. Patriots across America are breathing a sigh of relief as justice finally returns to the Department of Justice.

How many more bogus investigations will the Trump administration shut down as they continue draining the swamp?

Finally! This was clearly a politically motivated attack on DeSantis because the establishment feared his success in Florida. The Hope Florida Foundation has done incredible work helping families get back on their feet - I've seen it firsthand in my community.

Exactly right! They went after him because he was gaining momentum and threatening their power structure.

About time the DOJ dropped this bogus investigation. DeSantis has been transparent about his programs from day one - this was nothing but a witch hunt designed to damage his reputation before 2028.
