Bondi's decision comes as she faces fire from right-wing activists over her handling of a probe into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein

Overview

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi formally dismissed all charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., bringing his 15-day trial in Salt Lake City to an abrupt end.
  • Moore faced allegations of issuing nearly 2,000 fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination cards, destroying over $28,000 in government-provided vaccines, and administering saline injections to minors.
  • A federal grand jury indicted Moore and three co-defendants in 2023 on conspiracy to defraud the United States and related offenses.
  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Mike Lee publicly lobbied for the case’s dismissal, prompting Bondi to thank them for raising the issue.
  • The decision reflects a shift in DOJ priorities under Bondi and raises concerns about political intervention in pandemic-era prosecutions.
