A convicted South Florida healthcare executive whose 20-year prison sentence for Medicare fraud had been commuted by former President Donald Trump was arrested on domestic violence-related charges in Miami Beach over the weekend. Philip Esformes was booked Sunday — his 56th birthday — on charges of tampering with a victim or witness and criminal mischief involving property damage of $1,000 or more, according to Miami-Dade Circuit Court records. Both felony charges are related to domestic violence, records show.
Esformes is at least the seventh person granted clemency by Trump who has been charged with new crimes after receiving a second chance, according to the New York Times,
