State House halts investigation into Hope Florida, Casey DeSantis-linked foundation, amid lack of cooperation

The Florida House ended its investigation into the Hope Florida Foundation, a welfare assistance program established by First Lady Casey DeSantis in 2021, due to a lack of cooperation from key figures.
The probe questioned the legality of a $10 million donation to Hope Florida from a settlement between the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and Centene, as well as allegations of collusion and misuse of funds to combat a recreational marijuana ballot initiative.
While scheduled hearings are complete, House Speaker Perez stated that the House may resort to subpoenas to obtain more answers, as some view the investigation as a political attack on the First Lady.
