Nessel’s Diversion? Michigan AG Sues Trump Admin Over COVID Fund Cuts While Facing Her Own Scandal
As Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel launches a headline-grabbing lawsuit against the Trump administration over rescinded COVID-era health grants, people are calling it exactly what it appears to be: a political stunt designed to distract from mounting questions about her role in burying evidence of 2020 election fraud.

Millions Cut, but Was It Really Needed?
Michigan is joining 22 other states and the District of Columbia in suing the Trump administration over $11 billion in pandemic-era grants that were always meant to sunset. Of that, roughly $380 million was tied to Michigan — money originally intended for pandemic emergency use, but now being decommissioned as the declared COVID crisis has long ended.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the move aligns with new priorities to curb waste and refocus resources on lasting, effective programs, rather than funneling money into “non-existent pandemic” efforts. “We will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a pandemic Americans moved on from years ago,” said a HHS spokesperson.
But Nessel, now under fire for allegedly failing to refer a known 2020 voter fraud case to the FBI, is suddenly grabbing national headlines for fighting back — not on behalf of election integrity, but to preserve expiring federal funding.
Political Theater or Public Health?
According to Nessel’s office, the funding was used to support vaccine awareness, lab upgrades, translation services, and mental health initiatives. However, many critics argue that the state has had years to prepare for the funding’s end. The grants were never permanent, and the sudden panic over losing them exposes poor planning and mismanagement — not federal cruelty.
“Michigan health officials had four years to plan for this funding to phase out,” said one Lansing policy advisor. “Instead, they kept spending like the pandemic would last forever. Now they want a bailout, and they’re using seniors and kids as political pawns.”
What Nessel Isn’t Talking About
Meanwhile, Nessel continues to dodge questions about her handling of the explosive GBI Strategies voter fraud case tied to the 2020 election. A recent whistleblower exposed that Nessel never actually referred the case to the FBI, as she claimed publicly. Internal law enforcement sources revealed that thousands of suspicious voter registrations were submitted during the 2020 election, yet no federal investigation materialized because the AG’s office quietly shut it down.
Nessel, who aggressively prosecuted Trump electors on flimsy legal grounds, told the public the case was “out of her hands.” Now we know that wasn’t true.
This growing scandal has eroded public trust and led some lawmakers to call for an official investigation into Nessel’s conduct. Her aggressive legal posturing on pandemic funding, critics say, is a way to rally partisan support while avoiding accountability.
Funding Waste Already Documented
Let’s not forget: Michigan received over $6 billion in COVID relief — and at least $3.5 billion remains unaccounted for. From unspent school funds to suspect small business grant programs, Michigan’s COVID relief history is littered with waste and mismanagement. Yet instead of auditing those failures, Nessel is suing to keep more pandemic funds flowing.
According to the Mackinac Center, only $2.5 billion of Michigan’s education aid had been spent by 2022. Another $4.4 billion allocated to local governments under ARPA remains largely unspent. So why is $42 million in clawed-back funding for HVAC projects now the media’s headline?
Manufactured Outrage, Political Damage Control
Nessel’s lawsuit is less about helping Michigan families and more about protecting her political future. With her office under fire for sweeping real election crimes under the rug, this lawsuit is a convenient distraction — one that conveniently paints her as a “fighter” for public health, just as her credibility is crumbling.
Instead of obsessing over expired grants, Michigan leaders should be asking the real questions:
Where did the missing billions go?
Why was potential election fraud ignored?
Who benefited from years of unchecked pandemic spending?
Until those answers come, lawsuits like these will look less like justice — and more like political damage control.
