Thank you for abandoning him… because of that, we found him tied up and crying. After a visit to the vet, he’s now heading to our home! That was the first and last time he cried so much. From now on, we’ll do everything to surround him with love, acceptance, and happiness.… Original post

Joseph Schwartz’s case is the latest in a string of health care fraud pardons by Trump. The president also granted clemency to nursing home magnate Philip Esformes, convicted of a $1.3B scheme, and Judith Negron, convicted in a $200M fraud case.
