Florida House Republicans on Friday issued letters to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration, demanding text messages, emails and records that stretch back years as the chamber tries to investigate possible wasteful government spending in the executive branch.

The House is demanding administration officials turn over the information by May 16, according to the letters obtained by the Herald/Times… If they do not provide answers, the possibility of using subpoenas is on the table, House Speaker Daniel Perez told reporters last week.

“I am confident that you, as a public agency, share our commitment to full transparency and accountability in the spending of public funds,” House Budget Chair Lawrence McClure wrote in the letters issued on Friday. “In that spirit, I look forward to your cooperation in responding fully and promptly to this request.”
