Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name.

We have been cooperating with federal authorities in this matter...
...and my father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI’s direction to catch these criminals. The planted leak to the FBI tonight was intended to thwart that investigation.

No part of the allegations against me are true, and the people pushing these lies are targets...
...of the ongoing extortion investigation.

I demand the DOJ immediately release the tapes, made at their direction, which implicate their former colleague in crimes against me based on false allegations.

.@politico is writing a smear piece on me as shills for the @SenatorBurr camp. (Probably in exchange for some other intel story.)

The scandalous oppo they’ve dumped:

I have an office lease at or below market rate, approved by the House, from Merrill Land Company.
Collier Merrill (one MLC principle):
- Fmr Pcola Chamber head
- Fmr Chair State Education Board
- Fmr Chair Florida Arts Council
- has hosted fundraisers for me
- once praised a bill I sponsored to kill Lionfish on our reefs (helpful to every FL seafood establishment, equally)
- was a legal client of mine many years ago on a local noise violation at his restaurant
- has attended various official functions I’ve hosted with other community leaders to discuss issues (all open to press & live-streamed to everyone).
