Trump expected to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate former presidential candidate and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a person with direct knowledge of the selection.

The expected pick, which will roil many public health experts, comes after Trump promised to let Kennedy “go wild” with health and food policy in his administration after Kennedy dropped his own presidential bid to endorse the now-president-elect. It’s also a sign of the opening Trump sees after he scored a decisive electoral victory and Republicans won a comfortable majority in the Senate.

Trump could still select someone else for the post. The Trump transition couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

“He’s going to help make America healthy again. … He wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him get to it,” Trump said in his victory speech. “Go have a good time, Bobby.”

FBI agent who was a Russian spy, one of biggest breaches in national security ever.

He would do a great job as head of FBI/CIA.

Trump throws out a name, congress rubber stamps it.

I didn't realize RH died last year.

Trump will brag about how he was the biggest security breach in US history.
Hanssen was only second best.

Each part played a small role.
Then it all came together for a big win.
