Top aides to Governor Ron DeSantis have been accused of blocking the release of records detailing the governor's taxpayer-funded travel and retaliating against those who favored making these records public, according to sworn statements by two former FDLE officials. Allegations also include DeSantis misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money for travel related to a shadow campaign for president, as reported by WFLA. Transparency issues extend to a Florida sheriff's private fundraiser, campaign contributions, and ties to felons, all linked to Governor DeSantis. The New College of Florida, known for its conservative overhaul by DeSantis and his associates, faced a rare sanction by a national faculty group for "egregious and extensive" standards violations.
