The Ongoing Disney v. DeSantis Legal Battle.
Lawyers representing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have filed a request for Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker to recuse himself from a lawsuit brought by Disney against the governor and a state-created board. The request claims that Walker may have already "prejudged" allegations made by Disney about retaliation. Walker has ruled against Florida Republicans multiple times, including slamming the state's 2021 election law and a state law dealing with workplace training sessions. The filing comes just days before DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential run and after Disney announced it was scrapping plans for a nearly $1 billion office complex in central Florida.
