"Under the management of Peter Navarro, Senior Advisor to President Trump, the administration was taken advantage of by Philips Respironics when negotiating the price of life-saving ventilators," Krishnamoorthi said in a statement to CNBC.
"American taxpayers just saved over $400 million dollars after my subcommittee shined a spotlight on just one of the Trump Administration's wasteful contracts for COVID-19 supplies," he continued. "My subcommittee will continue to press Philips to repay the remaining money it owes the federal government. We will also be requesting documentation from all the contracts that Peter Navarro has negotiated regarding Covid-19 response."
