Senate candidate Alexander Vindman urged Sen. Ashley Moody to call for release of a grand jury report concerning Hope Florida. Moody’s campaign denied she had a role in the grand jury proceedings and said she would have no issue with public release.
Vindman called on Moody to seek release of a Leon County grand jury report about Hope Florida, a nonprofit tied to an initiative led by Casey DeSantis. The article says Hope Florida transferred $10 million from a Medicaid-related settlement to two nonprofits, which then gave the money to a political committee chaired by James Uthmeier. The committee used the funds to campaign against two Florida ballot measures in 2024. No indictments or report had been issued or released.
Vindman criticized Moody’s role as attorney general at the time and suggested it led to her Senate appointment. Moody’s campaign said the settlement was handled by the Agency for Health Care Administration and that she had no role in grand jury proceedings; it also said she would not oppose release of a report. Vindman said he had not contacted the state attorney’s office about releasing it.
