Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may have put to rest questions about whether he believes that former President Donald Trump lost reelection in 2020.

MIAMI -- A property manager for Donald Trump, who is accused of collaborating with the former president to hinder U.S. government efforts to retrieve classified documents at his Palm Beach estate, appeared in Miami federal court Monday to face obstruction charges.
