When Rudy Giuliani Defended Purdue Pharma
Apr 2, 2019 · by WNYC Newsroom
Shortly after he finished his term as New York City mayor, Rudolph Giuliani started his own firm, Giuliani Partners. His first client: Purdue Pharma of Stamford, Connecticut.
The United States government had brought criminal charges against the opioid manufacturer for fraudulently promoting OxyContin as safe and hard-to-abuse. Purdue ultimately accepted a plea deal, but Giuliani was able to win two major concessions that would ensure that Purdue Pharma was able to keep its products on the market and plentiful.

Senators question whether Giuliani's influence scored Purdue Pharma leniency from feds

In letters to the Department of Justice and Drug Enforcement agency, Sens. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., are requesting documents detailing info about Purdue Pharma’s interactions with the agencies in the 2000s when it was under investigation for its OxyContin promotions. The senators seek to learn whether “potential conflicts of interest” secured the company “inappropriately lenient treatment.”
Giuliani represented Purdue Pharma in its dealings with the Department of Justice over the marketing probe, and at the same time his firm worked for the DOJ under a $1 million consulting contract, the senators said in their letters to the Department of Justice and Drug Enforcement Agency, citing a report from the New York Times. Additionally, Giuliani personally raised money for a DEA museum, according to the letters.
... According to the letters, Giuliani convinced political appointees at the Department of Justice to reject career prosecutors’ recommendations in the opioid marketing case. As a result, the company entered a guilty plea to “misbranding” OxyContin, its powerful painkiller. Under the deal, the senators also said Giuliani convinced DOJ to assign fault to Purdue Frederick, a holding company, to allow Purdue Pharma to continue to do business with the federal government. Purdue paid $640 million under the agreement in 2007.

Note the Principals in Purdue, while the Ghoul was representing them, got sweetheart misdemeanor deals and of course probation. Forget Hunter Biden, start asking how much blood is on Ghouliani’s hands.
