RFK Jr. says Trump promised him ‘control’ of public health agencies

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday that former President Trump has promised him “control” of public health agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA), should he win a second term next week, according to a video viewed by The Hill. 

“The key that … President Trump has promised me is — is control of the public health agencies, which are HHS and its subagencies, CDC, FDA, NIH and a few others, and then also the USDA, which is … key to making America healthy,” Kennedy said in the video. “Because we’ve got to get off of seed oils, and we’ve got to get off of pesticide intensive agriculture.”
