On this episode of the podcast, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health at the Department of Health & Human Resources David Mansdoerfer discusses President Donald Trumps new executive order to reduce drug prices by up to 80% requiring pharmaceutical companies to match the lowest prices of most-favored-nations.

She goes on to expose the overlooked role of Chinese agents in the case and accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of failing to protect her family. 

Furthermore, Byrne speaks candidly about the emotional toll, the broader implications for justice in America, and her hope for pardon from President Donald Trump.
