Gov Ron DeSantis’s office is coming under fire from advocates of Florida’s open government laws after an investigation published by News 6 alleged that staff intervened in the outlet’s public records request into the financial records of former state official Halsey Beshears, delaying their release for two months.
In the documents obtained by News 6, the outlet was able to confirm that the financial records of Mr Beshears, a figure who has been reported by Politico to be connected to Matt Gaetz and the federal agency reportedly investigating him for child sex trafficking, were held up for secondary “review” by the governor’s office.
