Martin Shkreli Congressional Testimony, Fifth Amendment Invocation
Former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli appeared before a House committee regarding the price hike of the drug Daraprim. Shkreli invoked his Fifth Amendment rights for nearly all questions, including those about his purchase of a rare Wu-Tang Clan album. Following the hearing, Shkreli insulted the committee members on Twitter, calling them "imbeciles."
Martin Shkreli, Daraprim Price Hike, and Hillary's Reaction
Hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli faced intense backlash for raising the price of the drug Daraprim by 5,000%, a move Hillary Clinton quickly labeled "price gouging." Shkreli defended the increase on Bloomberg, arguing that the revenue would fund research for better treatments for Toxoplasmosis. The hosts debate whether the controversy was a "setup scam" to provide Clinton with a populist campaign issue, though they find Shkreli's explanation somewhat reasonable.
