President Trump granted a full pardon to Jewish nursing home operator Joseph Schwartz after he served just three months of a three-year sentence for a nearly $39 million fraud scheme.
Federal prosecutors said that Schwartz refused to pay payroll taxes that had been withheld from employees’ wages across 11 states.
Schwartz reportedly paid $960,000 to lobbyists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl to secure the pardon from the White House.
