Surrounded by first responders and caregivers, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., raised alarm bells about a potential settlement between West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey - his Republican opponent for re-election - and a major distributor of opioid pills. According to sources Manchin would not identify, the senator said Tuesday the state is getting ready to settle a lawsuit with McKesson Corp., a pharmaceutical distribution company that has shipped millions of painkiller doses to West Virginia over the past 12 years.
