Patronis flips script on Whitehouse, demands any records related to wife and Citizens Insurance
From The Sun Sentinel:
In a letter to Whitehouse, Patronis said he found the Democratic senator’s requests in November and March for information about Citizens Property Insurance Corp. “especially alarming” in light of an ethics complaint by conservative foundation Judicial Watch asserting that Whitehouse voted for environmental projects that financially benefitted his wife’s consulting business.
Judicial Watch routinely targets Democrats and members of the Biden Administration with lawsuits and Freedom of Information Act requests, and then posts stories about the requests on its website.
Former President Trump, meanwhile, is routinely defended by Judicial Watch and its president Tom Fitton.
In his email announcing his records request to Whitehouse, Patronis referenced Judicial Watch’s complaint urging the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate, according to Patronis, “potential conflicts of interest connected to his wife, Sandra Whitehouse’s consulting business.”
Judicial Watch’s complaint stems from votes by Whitehouse on bills that funded environmental projects and allegedly benefited companies that hired Sandra Whitehouse’ consulting firm, Ocean Wonks LLC since 2009, according to the conservative National Review website.
