If DeSantis violated Florida ethics laws, he should face the 'severe penalties' including ballot disqualification, the pro-Trump super PAC argued.
"Adding this to the list of frivolous and politically motivated attacks," communications director Taryn Fenske said in a statement to CNBC. She added: "It's inappropriate to use state ethics complaints for partisan purposes."The broadside comes as DeSantis has authored a new political memoir and embarked on a multi-state tour to promote it, two of numerous clear signs that the governor is preparing a run for national office.
MAGA Inc.'s letter references that "personally lucrative book tour" as it alleges DeSantis and his associated political committees and allies have improperly accepted millions of dollars in gifts that are "clearly intended" to influence his eventual resignation as governor and campaign for president.DeSantis is expected to hold off on announcing his presidential plans until after the Florida legislature ends its current session in May.
But the letter argues that DeSantis is already a de facto presidential candidate, and his reluctance to make it official is "no mere oversight." Rather, it is "a coordinated effort specifically designed for him to accept, as unethical gifts, illegal campaign contributions and certain personal benefits that are necessarily intended to influence his official decision to resign from office under Florida's resign to run law," the super PAC alleged.
