Federal judge recuses himself from Disney-DeSantis lawsuit.

The federal judge assigned to Walt Disney Co.’s lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has recused himself from the case, citing a potential financial conflict of interest as the reason. The judge's recusal deals a blow to Disney, which had chosen to file its lawsuit in federal court. At issue is Disney’s suit, which accuses the governor of engaging in political retaliation due to the entertainment giant’s opposition to a controversial education law.
