A call for impeachment has been made against Attorney General James Uthmeier. This move is related to the diversion of funds from a Medicaid overpayment settlement. The money, totaling $10 million, was allegedly used to support political committees.

Further details about this situation are available. It is known that a grand jury report found the funds to be misappropriated, although not enough evidence was found to charge anyone with a crime. A special session to consider impeachment has been requested by House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell.
