“Well, he said in public testimony that he would do it. He’s also under oath automatically in the sense that lying to Congress is a crime. So, he said he’s going to do it,” Van Hollen responded.
“My sense from Patel’s conduct overall is he may or may not do it, but I, unfortunately won’t be able to believe the results, because in that hearing, he did lie several times.”

It is FDA-approved, orally administered, crosses the blood-brain barrier, and has a known safety profile. It targets signaling pathways specific to oligod…
