Allies of former President Donald Trump have filed a complaint with the Florida Commission on Ethics accusing Gov. Ron DeSantis, a leading potential 2024 primary rival, of violating campaign finance and ethics rules with a shadow run for the White House. Desantis' office called it a “frivolous and politically motivated” charge.
The 15-page complaint filed Wednesday by MAGA Inc., a Trump-supporting super political action committee, asks the commission to investigate Florida's Republican leader for allegedly “leveraging his elected office and breaching his associated duties in a coordinated effort to develop his national profile, enrich himself and his political allies, and influence the national electorate." The complaint was shared with The Associated Press.
