I heard someone refer to Trump's cabinet as a Suicide Squad, a deliberate collection of the worst people.

I've heard somewhere that the ex-CEO of the healthcare company that committed the biggest healthcare fraud in US history (and was paid tens on millions for doing it) is employed by the whitehouse, is that true? Because if it is, they should look at him and his company first.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_fraud
In April 2019, Federal officials charged Philip Esformes, 48 years old, of paying and receiving kickbacks and bribes in the then largest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history. The fraud took place between 2007 until 2016 and involved about $1.3 billion worth of fraudulent claims. Esformes was described as "a man driven by almost unbounded greed,".
Maybe they're using litotes here, but it seems that kind of corruption is actively being sought out.
