IRS Reviews Whistleblower Claim Over Hope Florida Funds
Original: IRS takes up whistleblower claim of Hope Florida money that flowed to Uthmeier’s political committee
The IRS is examining a whistleblower's allegation that money from Florida's Hope Florida program was funneled into the political committee of James Uthmeier, now the state's attorney general. The claim, previously raised in state inquiries, alleges that $10 million in Medicaid settlement funds routed through the charity were used to influence Florida politics. Federal involvement raises the stakes for Governor Ron DeSantis's administration.
Why now: A state charity-funding scandal has now drawn federal tax authorities into the investigation.
