'Journalistic malpractice': Ellen Carmichael debunks CNN story on Rep. Tom Price stock purchase

Except, that’s not exactly what happened according to Ellen Carmichael, who used to work for Rep. Price and is now the president of  The Lafayette Company.

First up, Price was allegedly not responsible for any of the trades in the “broker-directed” account:
