Nursing home owner pardoned by Trump granted parole in Arkansas

A nursing home owner who was pardoned by President Donald Trump has been paroled in Arkansas, less than a month after he was ordered to a state prison.

Joseph Schwartz was granted parole by the Arkansas Post Prison Transfer Board, according to an email sent Thursday by a notification system that tells the public about an offender’s change in status.

Schwartz had been ordered last month to prison to serve out his sentence on state Medicaid fraud and tax evasion charges

Schwartz, of New York, was three months into a three-year federal sentence for tax fraud when Trump pardoned him in November.
