U.S. Chief District Judge Mark Walker wrote in an order that while DeSantis’s motion to disqualify him was “meritless,” he will remove himself from the case because he discovered that a “third-degree” relative of his owns 30 shares of stock from Disney.
at the time, saying that the comments made by Walker are “year-old hypothetical questions” based on “widely-publicized statements” that “did not make any findings about those statements.”DeSantis’s motion to disqualify him was “meritless,” he will remove himself from the case because he recently discovered that a “third-degree” relative of his owns 30 shares of stock from Disney.
“Even though I believe it is highly unlikely that these proceedings will have a substantial effect on The Walt Disney Company, I choose to err on the side of caution — which, here, is also the side of judicial integrity — and disqualify myself,” Walker wrote. “Maintaining public trust in the judiciary is paramount, perhaps now more than ever in the history of our Republic.”
“I am confident that my colleagues on this court can preside over the remainder of this case and judge it fairly and wisely,” Walker added. Disney’s case will now be reassigned to Judge Allen Winsor, who was appointed by former President Trump.
