ORLANDO, Fla. — On September 10, 2024, state health officials planned to brief Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office on a lucrative deal that had been three years in the making. The topic: a $67 million Medicaid settlement that could soon come Florida’s way, newly released records show.

The day after that scheduled meeting, the health agency’s top lawyer shared a new draft of the agreement — one that set off a political firestorm months later in Tallahassee.

The settlement would still be for $67 million, but it would peel off millions for the Hope Florida Foundation, the charity arm of the initiative spearheaded by first lady Casey DeSantis, the documents reveal. Hope Florida ultimately got $10 million, which it funneled to two nonprofit organizations that in turn gave $8.5 million to a political committee controlled by the governor’s then-chief of staff, James Uthmeier. That committee was set up to defeat a ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana.

The finalized agreement, with the Hope Florida Foundation a recipient, became public earlier this year, igniting a bipartisan legislative probe and sparking questions about whether highly regulated Medicaid dollars were illegally used for political purposes. Tallahassee prosecutors opened an investigation in May.
