Trump's Most Egregious Pardon?

"Trump commuted the sentence of Judith Negron, who was convicted on 24 counts of defrauding Medicare through her mental health care business. She declined a plea deal and in 2011 was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to commit health-care fraud, health-care fraud, conspiracy to pay and receive illegal health-care kickbacks, conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering, and structuring to avoid reporting requirements.

"Maximum sentencing would have given her life imprisonment as co-owner of a Miami-area health-care company, American Therapeutic Corp.

"Negron’s co-owners Lawrence Duran and Marianella Valera both took plea deals and were sentenced to 50 years and 35 years, respectively, for their roles in the scheme. Their sentences weren’t commuted.

"Trump’s actions 'send a horrible message to the front-line fraud fighters not only at the DOJ, but at the state level,” said Matthew J. Smith, executive director of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud."
