Novartis CEO tells employees ‘we made a mistake’ in making deal with Trump lawyer Michael Cohen

Novartis CEO Vasant Narasimhan sent an internal email to employees after the pharmaceutical giant revealed it paid the company of President Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, $1.2 million.

“We made a mistake in entering into this engagement and, as a consequence, are being criticized by a world that expects more from us,” Narasimhan wrote.

In a Wednesday statement, Novartis said it entered a one-year agreement with Cohen for guidance on how the Trump administration would approach health-care policy issues.
