Whitaker's link to a 'scam' company that was shut down by the government [View all]

Anderson Cooper ran this story on tonight's edition.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/07/politics/whitaker-company-government/index.html

World Patent Marketing, with Whitaker on its Board, was responsible for bilking millions of dollars in a fraudulent invention patent scam. Whitaker also received payments from the company for his Senate campaign in addition to receiving commissions from this scam company.

Whitaker also acted as the company's "front man", appearing as the host of their promotional videos.

With connections like that, he'll fit right in to the tRump administration.
