Lawmakers: Drug distributors missed suspicious opioid sales


Lawmakers of both parties accused wholesale pharmaceutical distributors on Tuesday of missing signs of suspicious activity that resulted in hundreds of millions of prescription opioid pills being shipped to West Virginia, a state disproportionately ravaged by deaths caused by the addictive drugs. The legislators made their remarks as current and former officials from five distributor companies gave sworn testimony to a House subcommittee.
