Florida nursing homes operator Philip Esformes was one of dozens of criminal defendants who received executive clemency from President Donald Trump.

When Esformes was convicted in 2019 in the health-care fraud case, after a trial in which Allen was one of the witnesses for the prosecution, then-Deputy Special Agent in Charge Denise Stemen of the FBI's Miami Field Office, said,"Philip Esformes is a man driven by almost unbounded greed." , Judge Robert Scola said that"the length and scope and breadth of the criminal conduct" of the defendant was"seemingly unmatched in our community, if not our country."But Trump left intact the portion of the sentence that called for Esformes to serve three years of supervised release and pay $5.5 million in restitution for his crimes. Esformes also was left on the hook for an order to pay a $38 million forfeiture judgment.
A subsequent court filing by Esformes' lawyers said that Trump's Attorney General William Barr had personally approved the terms of the clemency. "The government in this case eviscerated the defendant's attorney-client privilege and work-product protection," the brief said."Dismissal is the only remedy that can fix these pervasive violations."
