Governor Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis marked the Florida state appeals court's order to expunge a Leon County grand jury report in Miami on October 8, 2026. The court directed that the report, which had alleged the administration diverted $10 million from a legal settlement to the Hope Florida Foundation and other groups for political purposes, be removed from the public record.
The decision eliminates the report from public access, effectively erasing the specific accusations concerning the settlement funds.
