An ethics complaint by allies of former president Donald Trump accusing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of illegally benefitting from a shadow presidential campaign is nothing more than a “frivolous” and “politically motivated” attack, DeSantis’s office said Wednesday.
The ethics complaint by Make America Great Again, Inc., and first reported by NBC News, accuses DeSantis – a likely Trump competitor for the Republican presidential nomination – of illegally soliciting and receiving millions of dollars in gifts as part of a “shadow presidential campaign.” The complaint was being filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics, whose chair, Glenton Gilzean Jr., was appointed by DeSantis in 2019.
