As it goes from bad to worse...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is calling for an investigation into pharmaceutical giant Novartis, after it paid President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen a total of $1.2 million, according to a source familiar with the matter.



Hey Harry, Felix, in hindsight, don't you think $7m in litigation provisions were a bit insufficient?
I guess you were both "in the dark" like Vas on Joe's dealings, or simply thought the world would never learn of this ethically questionable transaction with Trump's personal atty.

On Friday, Trump effectively dropped his campaign pledge to have Medicare directly negotiate with pharmaceutical manufacturers.
