New allegations have surfaced regarding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's time as a JAG officer at Guantanamo Bay. A report from Al-Mayadeen claims DeSantis was involved in identifying detainee weaknesses to facilitate "tightening the screws" during interrogations. These claims are viewed by some as the beginning of a coordinated media campaign against DeSantis as he emerges as a viable 2024 presidential candidate.
