Gov. Ron DeSantis did not need to disclose that a $28,000 golf simulator installed in the Florida Governor’s Mansion had been provided by a longtime political donor because the equipment was, in fact, a gift to the state, the Florida Commission on Ethics has determined.

The decision, made behind closed doors last week, was announced Wednesday in a two-paragraph public report signed by Florida Commission on Ethics Chairperson Ashley Lukis, wife of DeSantis’ former chief of staff.

The decision hinged in part on an interview with the donor, Morteza “Mori” Hosseini, who said he initially intended for the governor to use the equipment but eventually wanted the simulator to be used more broadly by public employees, including the governor’s security detail.
