Florida Governor Ron DeSantis moved to disqualify the federal judge in charge of the Disney federal lawsuit by filing a motion, it was revealed in a court filing.
DeSantis' lawyers accused Mark Walker, the judge, of not showing impartiality, adding that the Court "has prejudged the retaliation question." "Because that question is now before this Court, and because that question involves highly publicized matters of great interest to Florida’s citizens, the Court should disqualify itself to prevent even the appearance of impropriety," DeSantis' legal team shared.
Disney previously claimed that the governor has used his political influence to harm the company's business.
