Ayanna Pressley: “A federal judge ordered Duran to pay more than $87 million…”

“For example, in 2011, Florida resident Lawrence Duran, owner of American Therapeutic Corporation, was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for orchestrating a $205 million Medicare fraud scheme involving false and fraudulent claims from mental health services. A federal judge ordered Duran to pay more than $87 million in restitution, which Trump wiped away. This task force should have a hearing about that. Senator Antonio do you support Trump denying $87 million in restitution of victims when he commuted Lawrence Duran? Yes or no?” (04:34–04:42)
