DeSantis Administration Misused $10M

A Florida grand jury found Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration “misappropriated” $10 million from a Medicaid settlement by routing it to the Hope Florida Foundation, a charity tied to his wife, Casey DeSantis. The report said the money was redirected for political purposes, including through two political committees, rather than the health-related uses tied to the settlement. The grand jury filed no criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence to identify who authorized the transfer. DeSantis’ administration argued the leak of the sealed report was the crime.
