According to a Fox News report published Thursday, former Trump officials claimed the e-commerce giant never extended such assistance during the Trump administration.
The senator added that he believed drug companies had the vaccine before the November presidential election and waited until after the election to announce it.
“I think, if there had been a Democratic president, they would have announced it before the election,” said Graham.
“We met with Trump’s Operation Warp Speed to offer assistance on vaccine logistics and we were redirected to the states. We then wrote to all governors offering to help distribute the vaccine,” the spokesperson added, noting they partnered “extensively with the Trump Administration to respond to COVID-19.”
“To suggest that we waited to offer assistance for political reasons is simply wrong, Senator Graham,” the spokesperson continued.
“Our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against COVID-19, and we stand ready to assist you in this effort,” wrote Clark.
