Robert F. Kennedy Jr., under intense scrutiny for his history with anti-vaccine advocacy, acknowledged previous settlements related to sexual misconduct allegations while refusing to disclose specifics during Senate hearings. A key allegation surfaced involving a nearly $1 million settlement related to a claim made by a former associate at Children’s Health Defense, the nonprofit he led. As he approaches a Senate Finance Committee vote for his nomination to HHS, Kennedy's past actions and responses raise questions about his integrity and qualification for the role.
Kennedy acknowledged the existence of prior confidential settlements with misconduct accusers but refused to disclose details, stating he had entered into agreements to prevent allegations from continuing.
The scrutiny on Kennedy's past behavior intensified during Senate hearings as legislators questioned his credibility and suitability for the Health and Human Services position due to his anti-vaccine stance.
