A former GOP Florida House candidate suing blogger Jacob Engels, who has repeatedly missed hearings and deadlines in the case, is asking an Orange County judge to order Engels to explain why he shouldn’t be arrested and brought into court.
Former candidate Elizabeth Cornell, who lost in the Republican primary for a Central Florida House seat last year, is suing Engels, a Proud Boys associate and publisher of the online publication the Central Florida Post, for libel.
The website published articles accusing Cornell of carrying on an extramarital affair and preying on an elderly client in her financial advising business.
