Leon County prosecutors have convened a grand jury to explore possible wrongdoing associated with Hope Florida , according to a report Friday by the Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald Tallahassee bureau.

State Attorney Jack Campbell's office over the past few weeks issued subpoenas for witnesses to appear before the grand jury during the week of Oct. 13, the Times/Herald report said.

The witnesses were not identified. Campbell did not comment when asked Friday by the News Service of Florida about the report.

Investigation tied to state House probe

Campbell's office in May confirmed that records related to a state House probe of a nonprofit linked to First Lady Casey DeSantis' signature Hope Florida assistance program were part of an "open" investigation.
