Novartis official: Michael Cohen was 'promising access' after Trump election
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, contacted the drug giant Novartis after the 2016 election "promising access" to the new administration, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller later requested information from the company about the offer, a senior official inside Novartis told NBC News on Wednesday.
"He [Cohen] contacted us after the new administration was in place," the official said. "He was promising access to the new administration." Novartis then signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with Cohen.

Looks like the 'pay to play' operation is still intact. That's really draining and basically refilling the swamp. You know, we've all been scammed at some point in our lives, but don't assume I'm a chump. But, hey, diehard Trump supporters won't see it that way.
