Attorney General Pam Bondi on Saturday ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to drop the case against Utah Dr. Kirk Moore who was accused of throwing away more than $28,000 of COVID-19 vaccine doses and distributing at least 1,937 fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination record cards.
His trial formally began on Monday. He was initially charged under the Biden administration.
“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi wrote on social media. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”
A federal grand jury had indicted him about two years ago and he faced up to 35 years in prison.
Moore and three co-defendants were accused of defrauding the government and destroying government property.
