Gov. Ron DeSantis is returning a political contribution he received from two Soviet-born businessmen who are accused of funneling foreign cash into U.S. elections to increase their influence and promote their business interests, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, both South Florida residents, donated $50,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis political committee on June 21, 2018, through a company named Global Energy Producers.
“The allegations regarding Global Energy Producers to the Governor’s affiliated political action committee in 2018 is troubling,” Helen Ferré, a DeSantis spokeswoman, said in an email. “Therefore, Governor DeSantis is directing the political action committee to return the money to the federal government.”

In the prepared statement, Ferré said DeSantis may have attended large campaign events with Parnas and Fruman, but he has not had any one-on-one meetings with them to her knowledge. They made the donation a day before Trump tweeted his “full endorsement” of DeSantis.
“These individuals have not had any state business or meetings with the governor,” she said. “Of course, the governor does not condone any illegal activities.”
