TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Scrutiny of a welfare program that is the signature initiative of Casey DeSantis, Florida's first lady is threatening to undermine a potential run to succeed her husband as governor, as well as his own presidential ambitions.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration this week released its most detailed explanation to date on its legal reasoning behind diverting $10 million in Medicaid settlement money to the Hope Florida Foundation.

Rep. Alex Andrade says he hopes federal prosecutors pick up what he says is a case of “conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.”
