Trump Commutes Sentence of Democrat Megadonor Dr. Salomon Melgen
20 Jan 2021
Former President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of Democrat megadonor Dr. Salomon Melgen as part of more than 100 grants of clemency announced in the final hours of his administration early Wednesday morning.
Melgen was convicted on 67 felony counts of Medicare fraud in April 2017, and was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison in February 2018.
In a separate case, Melgen and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) were indicted together on charges of public corruption in April 2015. That case ended in a mistrial in November 2018, and in January 2019 the Department of Justice dismissed all charges against both men.
