Trump announces trade deal with EU following months of negotiations
Investing.com -- The House Judiciary Committee has issued a subpoena to Dr. Philip Dormitzer, a former Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) executive, as part of its investigation into allegations that the company deliberately delayed Covid-19 vaccine testing until after the 2020 presidential election, CNN reports.
According to documents obtained by CNN Monday, the committee subpoenaed Dormitzer after he reportedly failed to comply with requests to appear voluntarily and provide records.
Dormitzer is described as a central figure in the legislative investigation. The committee alleges it has information that Dormitzer, after joining British drugmaker GSK, told colleagues that Pfizer had delayed announcing its Covid vaccine’s effectiveness until after the election.
Dormitzer has publicly denied any delay in seeking approval for the vaccine.
The subpoena demands both documents and a deposition from the former Pfizer executive as the committee continues its investigation.
