Lib Sens. Demand RFK Jr. Detail Dinners With Pharma Execs

Three liberal Senators are demanding Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. provide details of meetings he reportedly attended at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida with executives from the pharmaceutical industry.

Trump reportedly played host to the CEOs of Pfizer and Eli Lilly, and the lobbying group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA,  for a dinner at Mar-a-Lago in December that Kennedy, a longtime critic of Big Pharma, attended. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that since winning a second term, Trump has held more than 50 fundraising meetings at Mar-a-Lago with business executives, and that Kennedy attended several of the meetings.

In a letter dated Monday, Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., wrote to Kennedy that he owes “the American public an explanation for why you took part in PhRMA’s influence-peddling events with President Trump, what happened at these meetings, and whether they will affect your commitment to ensuring that Americans receive the relief they deserve from high drug prices.”
