In a surprising turn of events, Keisha Mulfort, the Chief of Staff for suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell, has been dismissed from her position while on maternity leave. The unexpected decision came this week and left Mulfort in shock. The termination occurred just a day after Governor DeSantis suspended Worrell.
Mulfort, who has been dealing with childbirth-related complications and has been in and out of the hospital, expressed her astonishment at the sudden dismissal. She had been utilizing the protections of the Family Medical Leave Act to take leave from her role at the State Attorney’s office. In a conversation with Channel 9 News, Mulfort asserted that her termination constitutes a violation of federal law.
