DeSantis Blocks Florida Plan to Use Taxpayer Money for Trump's Legal Bills
TL;DR Summary
Florida governor Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill that sought to allocate up to $5m from the state budget to help cover Donald Trump's legal expenses, despite tepidly endorsing Trump after ending his own White House campaign. State senator Ileana Garcia, who proposed the bill, withdrew it after DeSantis opposed it. Trump faces 91 criminal charges and lawsuits, and DeSantis's move reflects a split within the Republican Party.
