Martin Shkreli pleads the fifth, but blasts congress on Twitter
The rest of the story of Martin Shkreli’s testimony on Capitol Hill today.
What you couldn’t see on the radio in that clip of him taking the 5th I played was the wise-guy smirk on his face the whole time.
Lawmakers were clearly not amused.
Just after he left the hearing he tweeted:
Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government.
