RFK Jr. Faces Congressional Hearings Over Health Policies and Budget Cuts
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. returned to Capitol Hill for a series of congressional hearings where he defended his health agenda amidst intense scrutiny regarding proposed budget cuts by the Trump administration. While testifying before the House, Kennedy emphasized new food policies but notably avoided discussions on vaccines, which sparked clashes with lawmakers. Critics, including House Democrats, accused him of promoting harmful conspiracy theories linked to public health and highlighted concerns over vaccine skepticism. As his testimony marathon unfolds, Kennedy is under pressure to address key issues surrounding the Health and Human Services priorities and how they align with current budget proposals.
