Ron DeSantis faces scrutiny over Guantanamo Bay past and behavior.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a former Navy JAG, was present at Guantanamo Bay during the deaths of three detainees in 2006. The official report claimed the men committed suicide, but inconsistencies in the story have led to questions about what really happened. DeSantis was tasked with collecting initial evidence, but it is unclear how involved he was in the investigation. Witnesses have conflicting accounts of his actions and demeanor. DeSantis has downplayed his role in the force-feeding of detainees and has distanced himself from the use of the practice.
