A federal court in Florida on Monday declined to dismiss criminal charges against Andrew Gillum, the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial candidate who ran against Ron DeSantis and who was charged with wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements.

U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor said last week that Gillum’s claims were “meritless.” He dismissed four motions from the defendants challenging the continuation of the prosecution, according to the Associated Press.
