DeSantis and his allies see Trump's signature criminal-justice law, the First Step Act, as a weakness with his base. DeSantis has been quietly staffing up a presidential campaign and has been privately suggesting that Trump's record on crime is one of several policy issues on which he is vulnerable to attacks from the right.
