'Democratic Health Committee Leaders Blast TrumpRx for Ties to Donors and Family and Question Cost Savings'

“We are deeply concerned that this DTC platform, centralized through TrumpRx.gov, will be yet another Administration action that enriches companies and industries with close ties to President Trump while doing nothing to reduce the excessively high costs of prescription drugs for Americans."

"The Democrats also wrote to the CEO of BlinkRx regarding concerns the company may be coordinating with the Trump Administration—an eyebrow-raising conflict of interest given Trump’s son sits on the company’s board of directors and whose investment fund recently raised $140 million dollars for the company."

" 'BlinkRx is promoting to pharmaceutical companies to establish DTC online platforms that would allow them to comply with President Trump’s demands,' the Democrats wrote to BlinkRx’s CEO. 'We also note that President Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., joined the BlinkRx Board of Directors earlier this year. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Trump Jr.’s investment fund, 1789 Capital, led a $140 million Series D financing round for BlinkRx. The timing of the BlinkRx announcement so closely following the Administration’s outreach to the largest drug companies, and the involvement of President Trump’s immediate family, raises questions about potential coordination, influence, and self-dealing.'
