In the Cohen hearing, Rep. Meadows asked for some articles to be entered into the record, including one from the L.A. Times. Here's the piece he was referring to: A column about how the drug company Novartis lied about its relationship with Michael Cohen.

Novartis signed the contract on Feb. 17, 2017, and had that first inauspicious meeting with Cohen on March 1. In a letter responding to queries from Sen. Murray, Novartis was candid about its instant misgivings about Cohen. It became clear during the meeting, it said, that “Mr. Cohen had made no effort to learn anything about Novartis, or the policy issues that were of concern to Novartis specifically, or the pharmaceutical industry generally.

The clear implication of all these findings is that Novartis got rooked: It wanted an in at the Trump White House, and found that its inside man couldn’t deliver. But it’s also true that Novartis has gotten what it hoped for — a White House that isn’t serious, after all, about bringing drug prices down.
