California Governor Gavin Newsom is demanding a civil rights investigation into Dr. Mehmet Oz, saying he discriminated against Armenians in a video about hospice fraud in Los Angeles. Newsom's complaint, filed Thursday, follows Oz's social media video alleging $3.5 billion in hospice fraud, partly run by the "Russian Armenian mafia." Newsom argues Oz's claims are baseless and racially charged, harming Armenian businesses. Oz, linked to the Trump administration, has not commented. Newsom acknowledges hospice fraud in California but says the state has been addressing it for years. The video has sparked criticism from Armenian community leaders.

The Trump administration is set to launch TrumpRx, a website to help patients buy prescription drugs directly from manufacturers at discounted rates. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Thursday's expected unveiling in a social media post. The website is not a purchasing platform but directs users to drugmakers’ own sites. President Trump first mentioned TrumpRx in September, highlighting deals with pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices. The website's release faced delays, but it now showcases efforts to reduce costs through agreements with major companies like Pfizer and AstraZeneca. However, the actual savings for consumers remain unclear.
