Trump attacks Desantis for being too liberal on Covid ISIS SOLDIER FROM MICHIGAN GUILTY IN FEDERAL COURT TERROR TRIAL

Former President Donald Trump trashed Florida Gov. Ron Desantis on Monday for being too liberal on COVID-19 and vaccine policies as their Republican presidential rivalry starts to heat up.

Taking the gloves off, Trump slammed Desantis for imposing COVID-19 restrictions in the frightening early days of the pandemic and reminded supporters that he once supported ending most pandemic mitigation efforts by Easter 2020.

“Remember this?” he posted on his social media site. “Some Republican states got it right, Florida got it wrong!” Deriding the Florida governor as “Ron Desanctimonious,” Trump accused his leading potential GOP presidential rival of trying to “rewrite history” on COVID.

It’s not surprising that Trump is unloading on Desantis. Polls show a potentially close race between the two men, and Desantis has steadfastly refused to rule out a challenge to Trump. Trump spent a big chunk of his first campaign swing over the weekend trashing Desantis as “disloyal” and taking credit for his ascent to power in the Sunshine State.

An Islamic State soldier from Dearborn, Michigan, captured on a Syrian battlefield five years ago faces at least 10 years in federal prison after a jury Monday convicted him of providing material support to a terrorist group.

Jurors spent about four hours deliberating before convicting Ibraheem Musaibli, 32, of all three charges against him. That includes two terrorism-related charges, which include conspiring to provide material support, and a third charge of receiving military-type training from ISIS. The two terrorism-related charges could send Musaibli to prison for 50 years while the training charge carries a mandatory sentence of 10 years.

The verdict is the latest development in an international ordeal involving a rare ISIS fighter brought back to America in 2018 to face charges. Musaibli’s trial started Jan. 19.
