RFK Jr. grilled in hearings

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intense scrutiny from House and Senate committees as he defended a proposed 12% reduction in the Health and Human Services budget.

During the hearings, Kennedy deflected responsibility for rising measles rates, instead pointing toward immigration and international factors.

Senators challenged his previous assertions about vaccine efficacy, leading to a series of combative exchanges over public health policy.

The hearings highlight the deep political divide over the Trump administration's approach to healthcare and scientific guidance.
