Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars he made from his anti-vax crusade, Donald Trumps transition team has admitted to the Daily Beast.
Trumps pick for health secretary previously said his career as the founder, chairman and general counsel of the nonprofit Childrens Health Defense was unpaid and the opposite of a profit motive.
In personal financial disclosure forms required for all presidential candidates, Kennedy initially reported that he had earned $731,470.53 in 2022 and 2023. (In the summer of 2023, he reported making $515,960 the previous year from CHD; in the summer of 2024, he reported making $215,510.53.)
But documents obtained by the Daily Beast show that Kennedyafter being nominated by Trump for his Cabinetthen quietly amended those forms to disclose that he had actually earned far more from his anti-vaccine nonprofit: a total of $1.2 million.
Bobbys [personal financial disclosure] amounts were reported incorrectly, a Trump transition team official told the Daily Beast in response to questions about the new documents.
