Federal prosecutors on Wednesday moved to dismiss criminal charges against a woman accused of fraud in Florida who was being represented in court by Brad Bondi, the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi. The Biden Justice Department filed a criminal complaint against Carolina Amesty, a former Republican lawmaker, in mid-January -- just days before President Donald Trump took office. Amesty faced two counts of theft of government property related to COVID relief fraud and, if convicted, faced a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison. But on Wednesday morning, Brad Bondi claimed in court papers that "counsel for Ms. Amesty learned [last month] that the government had ceased its criminal investigation ... and withdrew its outstanding subpoenas."
