OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The Oklahoma attorney generals office is attempting to return $2 million worth of a malaria drug once touted by former President Donald Trump as an effective treatment for COVID-19, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Alex Gerszewski, a spokesman for Attorney General Mike Hunter, said Hunter is attempting to negotiate a return of the 1.2 million hydroxychloroquine pills Oklahoma acquired in April from a California-based supplier, FFF Enterprises. He said the office was acting on a request from the Oklahoma State Department of Health, which authorized the purchase.
A spokeswoman for FFF Enterprises didnt immediately return a message Wednesday seeking comment.
The attempt by Oklahoma to return the hydroxychloroquine was first reported by the online news publication The Frontier.

medication was stored in OK, nor anything else. The company that sold the pills to OK would be highly irresponsible to accept these returned pills. Force fed the OK reps that were idiot enough to purchase them, when even back then, the attributes were questionable as to the benefits of the medication. If no return is possible (a good thing), then take the $2 million shortfall out of every republican's pocket (elected) that voted to procure the medication.
