In 2020, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro pushed for the federal government to award a $354 million pandemic-supply contract to Phlow Corporation - a pharmaceutical company incorporated only months earlier (January 2020) that had never previously held a federal contract. The contract was awarded in May 2020, and the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis later investigated Navarro's role, raising questions about whether appropriate diligence was performed.
