RFK Jr. Says Trump Promised Him Control of HHS and USDA
Anthony Fauci Emails May Show Intent to Influence 2020 Elections
In a bombshell interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that former President Donald Trump offered him control of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) if he would use his influence to promote the COVID-19 vaccines.
According to Kennedy, Trump made the offer during a meeting at the White House in December 2020. Kennedy said he was "shocked" by the offer but declined, saying he was not interested in a government position. He also said that he did not believe the COVID-19 vaccines were safe or effective.
Kennedy's claims have not been independently verified. The White House has not commented on the allegations.
RFK Jr. Is a Longtime Critic of Vaccines, Fauci
Kennedy is a well-known anti-vaccine activist. He has written several books and articles criticizing vaccines, and he has been a vocal critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Kennedy's claims about Trump's offer come as Fauci is facing scrutiny over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci has been accused of suppressing evidence of the virus's lab origin and of promoting the use of masks and lockdowns even though he knew they were not effective.
The emails in question were obtained by the Washington Post through a public records request. They show that Fauci and other top health officials were aware of the lab-leak theory early in the pandemic, but they downplayed it in public.
The emails also show that Fauci was in contact with social media companies and asked them to censor posts that promoted the lab-leak theory.
Fauci's Emails Raise Questions About His Credibility
Fauci's emails have raised questions about his credibility. Some critics have accused him of lying to the public about the lab-leak theory and of suppressing evidence that could have led to a more effective response to the pandemic.
Others have defended Fauci, saying that he was simply following the best scientific evidence available at the time. They also argue that Fauci's emails were taken out of context and that he was not trying to suppress the lab-leak theory.
Conclusion
RFK Jr.'s claims that Trump offered him control of HHS and USDA are serious allegations. If true, they would raise questions about Trump's judgment and his commitment to public health.
Fauci's emails have also raised questions about his credibility. Some critics have accused him of lying to the public about the lab-leak theory and of suppressing evidence that could have led to a more effective response to the pandemic.
The investigations into Trump and Fauci are ongoing. It is too early to say what the outcome of these investigations will be, but they could have a significant impact on the public's trust in the government and the scientific community.
