Abdul Malik gave xanax medication to Vanessa Angel after her former client showed evidence of a prescription from a doctor. According to the statement in the examination transcript, he only gave two pills, where one was taken immediately, and the remaining one was put in a small clip.

"I gave her two pills. One was taken immediately, and the other one, because it's small, I put it in a clip. There are witnesses, Ana, her assistant (Vanessa). There is also a lawyer. I didn't give it directly spontaneously. She said she had a prescription, so I gave it to her if there was a prescription," continued the man who consumes xanax due to a history of heart disease.

2. Reasons for Requesting Xanax

Abdul Malik gave xanax medication to Vanessa Angel because her former client admitted feeling anxious and wanting to commit suicide. He melted after hearing that reason.

"Yes, because she was tense, wanted to commit suicide, anxious, because the trial was crowded. (The statement about wanting to commit suicide) was in the media, on all TV channels, she said that," he added.
