Novartis official: Michael Cohen was 'promising access' after Trump election

Play for pay..simple as that, I guess:

Brief quote:

"President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, contacted the drug giant Novartis after the 2016 election "promising access" to the new administration, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller later requested information from the company about the offer, a senior official inside Novartis told NBC News on Wednesday.

"He [Cohen] contacted us after the new administration was in place," the official said. "He was promising access to the new administration."

The disclosure came after an attorney representing the adult-film actress who says she had an affair with Trump released a summary of bank transactions that he says shows payments from various companies to a company controlled by Cohen.

That lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said the transactions suggest that Cohen was "selling access to the President of the United States." Cohen, his attorney and the White House did not respond to a request for comment."

NBC News just reported that Mueller is aware of this and his team is investigating.

I'm more concerned that they paid Cohen that kind of money 'before they found out he was useless'.

Makes me wonder about their prices. People all over the country are worried about medication cost and Novartis is paying over a million for nothing

This is the same swamp that Trump campaigned on draining, remember all the bit*hing about pay for play with the Clintons?

The swamp is now the black lagoon.

The drug company in the interview admits it was pure pay for play and Mueller has known about it since last year.

$1.2 million from one company not a bad haul and Cohen is just a hack lawyer who isn't directly in the administration. I wonder how much Pruitt is getting under the table. Or the big guy for that matter.
