Gov. Ron DeSantis’ top aides stopped the release of public records about his taxpayer-funded plane travel and retaliated against state police employees who disagreed with the decision, according to two former officials in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

In a sworn statement entered in court last week, former department Chief of Staff Shane Desguin alleges DeSantis officials stopped the release of about 600 records that would have revealed who traveled with the governor on the state plane and where it went.

The department denied the release citing a new state law shielding the governor’s travel records, according to court records.

But Desguin, who was involved in crafting the legislation, said the governor’s office misinterpreted the law, which was intended to shield records that jeopardized the safety of the governor or his family.
