# Andrew Tate expresses disappointment in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for caving to media pressure

In the early hours of Monday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that he was considering a change to his administration's stance on the case of Andrew Tate, a former U.S. House representative from his home state of Florida.

The Telegraph reported that Tate had been charged with six felony crimes, including attempted bribery and sexual assault, and that a federal judge had ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to pay a $1.5 million fine for the charges.

DeSantis said he would consider “expanding our investigation into the case and potentially taking more serious action." The governor added that he would “explore avenues to hold Andrew Tate accountable and to get the resources to support the investigation."

DeSantis noted that the investigation had been delayed, requiring more time to secure his own resources to support the investigation.

DeSantis also expressed concern about the impact of the investigation on the state's political climate. He said that “it's not easy when your governor is accused of being bad and being accused of being bad is bad, and that's something I'm concerned about."

The investigation is now underway, with the state’s attorney general set to be appointed as the special prosecutor in the case. The investigation aims to determine the legal and ethical implications of Tate’s alleged crimes.
