Worrell Accuses DeSantis of Targeting Her | Miami News

State Attorney Monique Worrell alleges she’s being targeted by Governor Ron DeSantis and AG James Uthmeier over her probe into a $10 million Medicaid settlement diverted to Hope Florida—money allegedly used for political purposes. She vows to press forward, possibly calling another grand jury, while the AG’s office denies any removal plans. Critics slam the original grand jury for failing to pursue charges despite identifying a criminal scheme, arguing prosecutors abandoned their duty. Legal experts say those who ordered the fund transfer could face serious crimes like grand theft. Witnesses’ memory gaps are cited as a barrier—but some say that shouldn’t stop prosecution. Upcoming gubernatorial and AG candidates promise fresh investigations if elected, while DeSantis and Uthmeier insist they’re innocent.
