BuzzFeed News is reporting House Republicans are warning drug companies against complying with a House investigation into drug prices. In a letter sent to CEOs of major drug companies, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee warned that information they provide to the committee could be leaked to the public by Democratic Chair Elijah Cummings in an effort to tank their stock prices. Cummings requested information from 12 drug giants, including Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and Novartis, in January as part of a broad investigation into how the industry sets prescription drug prices.
