Byron Donalds Faces New Lawsuit | Gainesville News

A major legal storm is brewing as a lawsuit alleges that Florida gubernatorial frontrunner Byron Donalds threatened and verbally abused a woman at a grocery store in August 2022 — an incident the plaintiff claims was orchestrated with an advisor and left her traumatized. The case, filed just as the election cycle heats up, seeks damages and a jury trial, and has drawn scrutiny after the plaintiff’s lawyer also represents another GOP candidate, James Fishback — who made racially charged remarks about Donalds. While Fishback suggests the incident stems from prior personal tensions, Donalds’ team insists the evidence speaks for itself. With the GOP primary just months away, the lawsuit could shake up the race for Florida’s governorship. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
