Florida officials diverted $10 million health care settlement to DeSantis' wife's charity

The administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted $10 million in settlement money with the state Agency for Health Care Administration into the Hope Florida Foundation, a charity run by his wife Casey DeSantis to reshape welfare assistance, reported the Miami Herald on Tuesday.

Hope Florida, created in 2022, has a mission to reduce lower-income people's reliance on government aid by connecting people who would otherwise need food assistance or subsidized health care with faith-based organizations and related NGOs.
