TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) Two former Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers said staffers of Gov. Ron DeSantis retaliated against those who favored the release of records regarding taxpayer-funded travel, according to a new court filing.
The filing was made as part of a lawsuit brought by the Washington Post over the states new law regarding travel records.
The sworn statements were submitted in the Leon County Circuit Court, and were first reported by the Washington Post. The filing comes days after the governors office filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of standing and failure to state a claim.
The Washington Post claims Floridas new law shielding the governors travel records is unconstitutional, and that citizens have a right to know how their tax dollars are spent on DeSantis travel.
