After a week inside a Salt Lake City courtroom facing charges of running a fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination card scheme during the pandemic, the case against Utah Dr. Kirk Moore has been ordered dropped by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The Attorney General ordered the U.S. Department of Justice, which she oversees, to dismiss the charges on Saturday, ending the trial that began Monday.
“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” claimed Bondi in a social media post. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing.
“It ends today.”
