Trump granted clemency to Medicare fraudsters before vowing to cut entitlement program abuse
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...edicare-fraud/

Quote:
In an attempt to clean up comments he made this week about “cutting” entitlement programs, former president Donald Trump has vowed in recent days that he would reduce spending on Social Security and Medicare by targeting waste and fraud in those programs.

However, a review of Trump’s record shows that, in the closing months of his presidency, he used his clemency powers to help several people convicted in major Medicare fraud cases, including commuting the sentence of a man the Justice Department had described as having “orchestrated one of the largest health care fraud schemes in U.S. history.”
Anyone who pays to play with Donny will be pardoned, of course.
