Kissinger's business dealings included close involvement with Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. Once a board member at Theranos, he invested $3 million and recruited others who also opened up their wallets. AdvertisementFormer US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's troubled legacy includes his involvement with failed blood-testing startup Theranos and its now-imprisoned founder, Elizabeth Holmes. Federal agencies ran investigations into Theranos, and in 2018, Holmes stepped down as CEO and the startup later shuttered. "When I was introduced to Elizabeth by George Shultz, her plan sounded like an undergraduate's dream," he wrote, referring to the former Secretary of State and Theranos board member.

The reporters spoke with board members, who explained why they backed founder Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes' board going into the scandal included an unusual roster of names for a healthcare startup, with leaders who had more experience in politics and government than healthcare. For the most part, the board members seemed to be taken by Holmes and her vision. "Secretary Mattis was struck by the promise of technology and was looking for any technology solution to save lives on the battlefield," White said. Auletta in the documentary said the board members spoke about Holmes as if she were a visionary.

“I’m 21,” Ms. Holmes said. “I’m gonna go tell my two children, they better get off their duffs,” Ms. Gunn exclaimed. Ms. Holmes was asked about her future, and gave the stock Silicon Valley response: You ain’t seen nothing yet. Not, in other words, a fool with regard to Silicon Valley. Yet he told The New Yorker in 2014 that Ms. Holmes “has sometimes been called another Steve Jobs, but I think that’s an inadequate comparison.

☆ SUA: Transferul codurilor nucleare către Joe Biden s-a făcut, în premieră, în două etape

SUA: Transferul codurilor nucleare către Joe Biden s-a făcut, în premieră, în două etapeCodurile nucleare i-au fost predate miercuri, aşa cum trebuie, noului preşedinte al SUA, Joe Biden, însă pentru prima dată în istorie acest transfer, care în mod obişnuit este unul discret, s-a făcut în două etape, relatează Agerpres. Însă în acelaşi moment, la Washington, un alt consilier militar, care avea la el o altă valiză şi un alt card, a luat loc în tribuna ridicată pe scările de la Capitoliu pentru învestitura lui Joe Biden. Iar nou card atribuit lui Joe Biden a fost activat la Washington, oferindu-i oficial celui de-al 46-lea preşedinte al SUA puterea absolută de a folosi armele nucleare. Chiar dacă a fost o premieră, schimbul nu a ridicat probleme logistice deoarece executivul american dispune în permanenţă de trei valize: una care este mereu cu preşedintele, una în biroul vicepreşedintelui în cazul în care i se întâmplă ceva preşedintelui şi una de rezervă. Iar un fost secretar al Apărării, William Perry, a făcut apel la Joe Biden "să renunţe la football", considerând că sistemul actual este "antidemocratic, depăşit, inutil şi extrem de periculos".
