He has been one of Trump's biggest supporters in Florida. Governor Rick Scott is going on the record for the first time following sexual assault allegations against the republican nominee

The Governor has been a big defender of Trump and is chairman of the Super PAC backing him.

Here's what he told I-Team Investigator Jarrod Holbrook on Wednesday:

"I continue to support Donald. I continue to support him. Here's the way I look at it- look the revelations are disappointing. But you know what's also disappointing? Is Hillary Clinton lying about her emails alright. Getting rich off of a phony- selling access through a phony foundation. Here's the way I look at it. I think we're all tired of this election, I mean we are ready for it to be over with, tomorrow would be a good day for this election to be over with I think for all of us. But from my stand point and as everybody knows what I ran on and everybody knows I ran on jobs, I wanna have a president who's gonna focus on jobs. And I wanna have a president that's gonna focus on jobs and I wanna have a president who's gonna focus on stopping terrorism. We saw what happened with the Pulse attack this summer, I don't want that to ever happen in my state again or anywhere in my country again."
