A #Florida pastor and his son have been arrested on charges of fraudulently obtaining more than $8 million in federal #COVID relief funds and attempting to use some of the money to buy a luxury home near Walt Disney World.

An NBC News report in July raised questions about why they hadn’t been charged in the alleged scam, outlined in court in late 2020.

Public reporting by NBC prioritized the case.
