Ron DeSantis was elected in 2018 but before he was sworn in, Florida’s governor took at least six undisclosed trips on private jets and accepted lodging and dining, according to a report by the Washington Post released on Thursday. DeSantis took four other flights on a plane that was registered at the time to John Cwik, another DeSantis donor, records show. DeSantis did not report the flights or accommodations as gifts or campaign contributions and it’s unclear whether he used a separate legal option to personally reimburse for the flights at the cost of coach airfare, The Post reported. Ethics Commission rules allow private jet trips to be paid back at the cost of a coach ticket on the same route, rather than the actual operating cost of the flight.
