DOJ Denies Investigation into Byron Donalds Amidst Allegations by Rival
The Department of Justice has confirmed that Republican Representative Byron Donalds is not under investigation, countering claims made by James Fishback, a rival in the Florida governor primary. Fishback alleged that an investigation into Representative Cory Mills had expanded to include Donalds, citing a whistleblower's information. However, a DOJ spokesperson labeled these claims as 'absolutely false.' Fishback's allegations were made public in a post on X, where he also shared documents purportedly supporting his claims, though these have not been independently verified. Despite the controversy, Donalds remains the leading candidate in the Republican primary, bolstered by an endorsement from President Trump.
