DeSantis failed to disclose Republican megadonor gift to Florida Ethics Committee: report – By Maya Boddie (Alternet) / June 21, 2023
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis accepted a golf simulator and private flights from a Republican megadonor, The Washington Post reports.
Per the Post, Jeremy Redfern, the 2024 Republican hopeful’s spokesperson said, “As with all donations, it was accepted and coordinated by staff and approved by legal counsel,” adding, “Donations to the residence and grounds have been received over many administrations. It will remain in the state’s possession for the use of first families, their guests, and staff as it is now.”
A 2019 letter to GOP millionaire Mori Hosseini, written by ex-DeSantis lawyer and current Chief of Staff James Uthmeier, notes the golf simulator was given to the governor “to be possessed on loan at the Governor’s Mansion for an undisclosed term,” according to The Daily Beast.
