Senate candidate Alexander Vindman urged Sen. Ashley Moody to call for release of a grand jury report on the Hope Florida matter, alleging her office’s role helped her win appointment to the Senate. Moody’s campaign denied she had a role in the grand jury proceedings and said she would not oppose releasing the report.
Speaking outside the Florida Capitol, Vindman challenged Moody to seek release of the report and accused her of corruption. The report concerns a $10 million transfer from Hope Florida, a nonprofit connected to an initiative led by First Lady Casey DeSantis, to two nonprofits whose funds later went to a political committee. That committee campaigned against two 2024 Florida ballot measures. A grand jury investigated, but no indictments or report had been issued or released at the time of the article.
