In a bold assertion that adds fuel to the already fiery political landscape, Laura Loomer, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, accuses Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of colluding with the Department of Justice’s Special Counsel, Jack Smith, to obstruct Trump’s potential return to the presidency.
The controversy originated in July, with Trump’s campaign releasing a statement alleging an “unholy alliance” between DeSantis and the Justice Department. Loomer seized upon this narrative, suggesting an active collaboration between DeSantis, his presidential campaign, and Jack Smith to perpetuate political prosecutions against the former president.
Loomer’s claims gain traction, especially in light of DeSantis’s lackluster performance in the recent Iowa Caucus, where he failed to secure a single victory in the counties, contrasting sharply with Trump’s success in 98 out of 99.

Central to Loomer’s suspicions is DeSantis’s focus on attacking third-place contender Nikki Haley, prompting questions about the governor’s true motives and the possibility of a larger, coordinated strategy.
Highlighting DeSantis’s background as a former federal prosecutor, Loomer contends that his close advisors had previously admitted to a strategy that involved capitalizing on political prosecutions against Trump by leftist prosecutors, including Jack Smith.
Former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski adds weight to Loomer’s claims by suggesting that DeSantis may be relying on legal troubles and potential health concerns, such as cholesterol issues, to sideline Trump from the political arena.
Loomer connects the dots further, referencing Nikki Haley’s post-Iowa Caucus statement declaring it a “2 person race.” She suggests this is part of a carefully orchestrated plan, tying it to a staged incident involving Chris Christie’s “hot mic” moment, indicating a coordinated effort among various political figures, including DeSantis, against Trump, all allegedly working in collaboration with Jack Smith.
