Orlando Sentinel sues DeSantis for refusing to release weekly White House coronavirus reports

The Orlando Sentinel has filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis and his office for failing to provide the weekly White House Coronavirus Task Force reports in a timely manner.
DeSantis office has not provided any of the task force reports for the month of November. Its been 37 days since the newspaper requested the Nov. 1 weekly report.
The lawsuit alleges that DeSantis and his office have violated the Public Records Act by refusing the release of the reports. It seeks the immediate release of the requested and future reports.
No public records law exemption exists that would prevent the inspection or copying of the weekly reports requested by [the Sentinel], according to the lawsuit. The delay in providing the requested reports is unreasonable, unjustified and amounts to an unlawful refusal to provide the records. The public is entitled to timely access of these reports going forward.

All he needs to do is plant a few pounds of his stash in the editors' offices and send in the goons. He's shown how easy it is to get a shameless judge to sign the warrant.
