Florida Ethics Commission Drops Investigation into DeSantis Over $28K Golf Simulator

Aug 1, 2024, 12:10 AM

The Florida state ethics commission has decided to drop its investigation into Governor Ron DeSantis regarding allegations of accepting gifts in violation of state laws. The complaints centered around DeSantis' acceptance of air travel to promote his book and a $28,000 golf simulator donated by Mori Hosseni. The ethics panel concluded that DeSantis did not need to disclose Mori Hosseni's donation of the golf simulator. Additionally, DeSantis recently signed a bill restricting the ability of ethics boards to initiate their own investigations, a move made late on a Friday night to minimize media coverage.
