YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGeana Jones was training to be a nurse when she came up with the idea for reusable tattoo covers that can temporarily hide body art. But she didn’t know where to start or how to file for a patent, so she turned to a company then advised by Matt Whitaker, President Trump’s new acting attorney general.
She wound up pouring thousands of dollars from her family savings into what she says was an elaborate scam.
Now, Jones is involved in a class action lawsuit against the company. And she thinks Whitaker’s position on the company’s advisory board warrants an investigation.
