Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the media might have some answering to do, when asked about the recent indictment against his former political rival Andrew Gillum, who ran against the governor in the state’s 2018 gubernatorial race.
Gillum, also a former mayor of Tallahassee, was indicted with wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on June 22. He solicited campaign payments and gifts from undercover FBI agents, according to the grand jury indictment.
