TAMPA, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to resist giving a deposition in the case of the Hillsborough County state attorney he recently removed from office, court records show.
The governor suspended Andrew Warren in August, accusing the twice-elected Tampa-based prosecutor of refusing to enforce certain laws. Warren, who says his suspension was political, is suing in federal court to get his job back.
As attorneys prepare for the Nov. 29 trial in Tallahassee, court filings show Warren’s lawyer wants to depose the governor beforehand.
