Mr. Shkreli, who refused to testify before Congress over his own decision to increase the price of life-saving toxoplasmosis treatment drug Daraprim, said he would be willing to testify on behalf of the Amsterdam based-drug maker Mylan if need be, according to the article.
Mylan executives are facing a barrage of criticism after increasing the price of a two-pack of EpiPens to a list price of roughly $600.
Mr. Shkreli said insurance companies are to blame and that they should jump at the chance to cover part of the cost since the EpiPen prevents patients from incurring even more expensive hospital visit.
Mr. Shkreli live-tweeted his support of Mylan CEO Heather Bresch during her interview with CNBC.
