Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the Department of Justice has dropped all charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr. and his associates, who were accused of destroying Covid-19 vaccines and falsifying records. The case drew attention from high-profile Republican leaders, including US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The decision comes as Bondi faces increasing scrutiny from the GOP base over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

  • Dr. Moore's patients were offered a choice when the federal government refused to provide clear guidance on vaccinations.
