Supreme Court blocks $6 billion Purdue Pharma opioid settlement

The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Purdue Pharma from going forward with bankruptcy proceedings, which the Biden administration has called an “unprecedented” arrangement that would ultimately offer the Sackler family broad protection from opioid-related civil claims. In agreeing to pause the settlement, the court also said it would take up the case and hear arguments this December. CNN’s Jean Casarez and Joan Biskupic report. #CNN #News
