As Jolly runs for Florida gov., he confronts prior ties to alleged fraudster

Less than two weeks after David Jolly launched his Democratic campaign for Florida governor last year, a Tampa grand jury indicted his former boss for allegedly siphoning over $100 million from a nonprofit set up to manage the assets of people with disabilities.

Jolly has called the alleged actions of businessman Leo Govoni "raw cruelty." He has also distanced himself from Govoni, telling voters in a July video that he "was an employee of Mr. Govoni's at a separate company from which the theft later occurred," and "from public filings, his activities appear to have occurred almost exclusively after we left his employment."
