Grassley
Direct
I
spoke
with
several
agricultural
journalists
on
my
weekly
call
about
the
renegotiation
of
NAFTA,
mandatory
country
of
origin
labeling
and
agricultural
appropriations
in
the
budget.
Q&A:
Civil
Asset
Forfeiture
Q.
What
is
civil
asset
forfeiture?
Q.
Are
you
concerned
about
the
Justice Department’s
restoring
a
provision
known
as
equitable
sharing
of
seized
assets
between
the
federal
government
and
state
and
local
law
enforcement?

The
Senate
Judiciary
Committee,
which
I
chair,
unanimously
approved the
president’s
FBI director
nominee,
Christopher
Wray.
In
his
confirmation
hearing,
Mr.
Wray
clearly
demonstrated
his
strong
qualifications
and
commitment
to
remaining
politically
independent.
His
nomination
will
now
be
considered
by
the
full
senate. You
can
watch
me
discuss
a
few
of
my
thoughts
on
Mr.
Wray’s
approval
here.
I’ve
heard
from
many
Iowans
about
how
Obamacare
has
failed
them.
I’ll
continue
to
work
with
my
fellow
senators
on
repairing
the damage
done by
Obamacare.
The
cost
of
prescription
drugs
is
too
high.
So
a
group
of
bipartisan
colleagues
from
the
Senate
Judiciary
Committee
and
I
sent
a
letter
to
the
FDA
commissioner
about
regulatory
abuses
committed
by
some
brand-name
drug
companies,
preventing
more
affordable
generic
drugs
from
reaching
consumers.
We
also
reintroduced
a
bill
that
would
stop
this
abuse,
increase
competition
and
bring
down
prescription
drug
prices
for
everyone.
