“We were being deprived of fundamental issues," the former defense secretary said.
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, an investor in and board member of Elizabeth Holmes’ company Theranos, delivered damning testimony about her in court Wednesday.
Mattis, who served in two military roles under Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush before becoming Donald Trump’s secretary of defense for two years, is the first high-profile witness to testify at Holmes’ trial, which commenced last month.
In his testimony, Mattis said Holmes misled him about Theranos’ blood-testing technology, lied about the Theranos machines being deployed in military operations and was firmly in charge of the company.
