Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is urging a Leon County circuit judge to dismiss a whistleblower lawsuit filed by a former Florida Department of Law Enforcement chief of staff who contends he was forced to step down after reporting wrongdoing.
Attorneys for DeSantis and the law-enforcement agency last week filed a motion arguing that former FDLE Chief of Staff Shane Desguin did not report the alleged wrongdoing in writing, as is required by a state whistleblower law.
