Fox News
Biden’s nomination for assistant attorney general Vanita Gupta was marked up in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, with Republican senators taking aim at the president’s nominee.
Gupta’s father, Raj Gupta, is the chairman of Avantor, an American company in which Vanita owns between $11 million and $55 million worth of stock, according to her financial disclosures. Avantor, which pays some employees less than $1.50 an hour, reportedly sold acetic anhydride, which Mexican cartels used to make high-grade heroin and methamphetamine – something Cornyn was quick to point out on Thursday.More Related News
