Gov. Ron DeSantis is returning a political contribution he received from two Soviet-born businessmen who are accused of funneling foreign cash into U.S. elections to increase their influence and promote their business interests, a spokeswoman said Thursday.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, both South Florida residents, donated $50,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis political committee on June 21, 2018, through a company named Global Energy Producers.

Trump was performance art who shouldn't have come with in a mile of the nomination.

The wife of the chair of the GOP told the press that Trump makes my dog vomit.

Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott said Monday he donated two campaign contributions from Igor Fruman, a South Florida businessman who was arrested on campaign finance charges with his partner Lev Parnas five days ago.

The Miami Herald reached out to Scott on Thursday, Friday and Monday for comment on what he planned to do with a $5,400 contribution from Fruman to his campaign and a $15,000 contribution from Fruman to the Rick Scott Victory Fund.

A spokesperson for Scott said Monday that he donated the contributions to the Shriner’s Hospital.
