Tap title to read story
A Florida House committee investigating Gov. Ron DeSantis' Hope Florida Foundation is ending its probe without hearing testimony from key figures. Rep. Alex Andrade believes Attorney General James Uthmeier and the foundation's lawyer committed criminal acts, funneling $10 million in Medicaid settlement funds to a political committee to oppose Amendment 3. Andrade concluded the legislative investigation, citing the need for federal authorities like the FBI and DOJ to pursue charges. Despite requests for testimony and records, key individuals declined to appear, citing legal reasons. Andrade intends to pursue policy changes in the next legislative session to address the issue.
