"Watchdog Group Accuses DeSantis of Campaign Finance Violation, Super PAC Strategist Resigns"

A nonpartisan government watchdog group, the Campaign Legal Center, has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of breaking campaign finance law by coordinating with a super PAC supporting his presidential bid. The complaint alleges that the level of coordination and communication between DeSantis' campaign and the super PAC, Never Back Down, crossed legal boundaries. DeSantis' spokesperson dismissed the complaint as baseless, while the governor's political operation faces turmoil and departures from top-level strategists. The FEC's resolution of the complaint may take years, and its board often deadlocks on campaign finance enforcement matters.
