Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis first lied, then tried to downplay his relationship to the two men....
The scandal first surfaced when the public learned that Rudy Giuliani associates Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas who were indicted (and pleaded not guilty) for allegedly circumventing federal campaign finance laws to funnel foreign and dark money to political candidates in exchange for influence had contributed $50,000 to DeSantiss campaign last year and more than $20,000 to Republican Sen. Rick Scott.
But that was soon called into question, when a few days later, 2018 footage surfaced showing DeSantis hugging both Fruman and Parnas amid a sea of onlookers and cameras.
Shortly after, it was revealed that Parnas accompanied DeSantis on a string of events in the closing moments of the 2018 gubernatorial campaign season. The Virginia attorney representing Parnas said, if he was in the pictures, then Parnas likely flew with DeSantis on his campaign plane.
After all, this recent fiasco follows a scandal in which the Tampa Bay Times revealed documents outlining what basically constitutes a menu of different options special interests can pay to receive face time with DeSantis.
