Purdue Pharma has been negotiating with the Trump administration’s Justice Department to resolve thousands of lawsuits accusing the pharmaceutical company of of helping to spark an opioid epidemic that has contributed to more than 400,000 deaths in the U.S., according to a report by the New Yorker.
Lawyers familiar with the situation told the New Yorker that the administration has been pushing to finalize the deal before Election Day in an effort to present the settlement as a major victory against Big Pharma.
