A Florida judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit against DeSantis over his bid to transport migrants, per the Miami Herald.
Leon County Circuit Court Judge John C. Cooper set a Jan. 30 trial date to hear the case brought on by Florida state Sen. Jason Pizzo , who accused the governor of unlawfully using taxpayer money to fly nearly 50 undocumented migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard last September.
DeSantis’ lawyers attempted to get the case from Pizzo, who is suing as a private citizen, tossed out. The judge did, however, agree to drop the state's Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, as a defendant.
