This could be the indictment that DeSantis needs

fter Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign cut staff recently, his office reportedly hired laid-off workers in jobs with the state.

James Uthmeier, DeSantis' chief of staff, reached out to former campaign staffers to apply for jobs at his office, and three were hired, sources told Axios.

The effort came after DeSantis' campaign manager Generra Peck laid off about three dozen staffers as the reboot sought to cut costs and lean more heavily on the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down PAC to carry the flag for DeSantis' fledgling and costly presidential campaign.

The tone of Axios' report suggests a conflict of interest — and potential taxpayer-funded stashing of campaign operatives — in inviting campaign staff operatives to apply for jobs that would be paid with taxpayer funds. But it's not uncommon for campaign workers to apply for and accept official government jobs in an administration.

Sources told Axios they had emails from the governor's office encouraging out-of-work campaign staffers to apply for jobs in Uthmeier's office.

Uthmeier and DeSantis' office did not respond to Axios' request for comment. A DeSantis campaign official declined Newsmax's request for comment.

    “pro-DeSantis Never Back Down PAC” would have him indicted for campaign contributions of his name was Trump. DCSantis 2024!

    It’s fun to see him cheat on the 501c collusion that are funding his sparsely attended events in Iowa and South Carolina while he’s still fighting for goofy voters with Vivek and whoever else is down in the teens and single digits.

    Implosion of any national aspirations in real time.
