The legislative plan to pay Trump’s legal bills is dead.
Florida’s Governor put the brakes on new legislation that would put the taxpayers on the hook for Donald Trump’s legal bills.
“But not the Florida Republican who wields the veto pen,” Ron DeSantis tweeted from his campaign account, responding to a story about legislation (SB 1738, SB 1740) that would cede up to $5 million from a fund that gives public money to qualified statewide candidates would go to a Florida resident who is “subject to political discrimination to pay for legal fees.”
That legislation is (was?) supported by CFO Jimmy Patronis, who frames it as a response to legal machinations against the former President, who faces 91 counts across four venues.
