A Republican lawyer in Florida accused the state of covering up coronavirus information and resigned from his position on a state judicial commission after police raided the home of a former coronavirus data scientist.
Ron Filipkowski, who was appointed to the 12th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission by Governor Ron DeSantis, submitted his resignation on Tuesday after authorities raided the home of Rebekah Jones, a former state data scientist who accused the governor of manipulating information about the coronavirus.
