With two weeks to go before the election, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has become the high-profile weapon anti-abortion advocates are increasingly relying on to keep Florida’s six-week abortion

John Wilson, general counsel for the Florida Department of Health, wrote in a sworn affidavit that officials from Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) office pushed him to threaten television stations with criminal prosecutions if they did not take down ads in support of a Florida abortion rights measure.

John Wilson says he resigned as general counsel of the Florida Health Department when he was told to reach out again to TV stations.
