Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has accused the Trump administration of conspiring with big-tech corporations to help bury the Hunter Biden scandal in 2020.

DeSantis criticized former President Donald Trump for not firing those he claimed had involvement in keeping the Hunter Biden laptop story off of social media during the 2020 election cycle in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I look back at the Hunter Biden censorship, which was a huge, huge deal to happen in the 2020 election, and yet those were Donald Trump’s own agencies that were colluding with Big Tech. I would never allow that to happen. I would fire those people immediately,” DeSantis said.

DeSantis said that, if elected, he plans to overhaul the Department of Justice on his first day in office. “We will end the weaponization of government. And that’s, of course, a new FBI director on day one,” DeSantis said. “That’s a difference between me and Donald Trump. He says the jury is still out on FBI Director [Christopher] Wray. I think you need a new start on day one. We’re going to clean house at the Department of Justice.”

On Sunday, DeSantis continued to pitched himself as the more viable Republican candidate and a results-oriented alternative to Trump.

“Here’s what it requires, Maria. It requires a president that is disciplined, a president that is focused,” he said. “You can’t get distracted on this. These people are not going to voluntarily give up the power that they have accumulated over many decades of neglect. I have shown in Florida the ability to get the job done.”
