'These People Are Shameless': RFK Jr.'s Son Launches Healthcare Investment Fund [View all]

"US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s son, Finn Kennedy, is reportedly seeking to raise $100 million for a new healthcare industry investment fund that will seek to capitalize on 'policy initiatives in government' - including RFK Jr.'s so-called Make America Healthy Again agenda."

"The Financial Times reported Friday that Finn Kennedy’s fund, Victura Ventures, has already secured roughly $70 million in commitments. The fund is 'targeting early-stage growth companies involved in healthcare AI, consumer health, and other health technologies,' FT reported, citing an offering document."

" 'Kennedy’s foray into healthcare investing marks the latest example of the cozy relationship between the Trump administration and close associates who have sought to capitalize on it,' the newspaper added. 'Sons of President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have invested in cryptocurrency businesses as Trump has promoted alternative currencies. Donald Trump Jr. has joined the board of 1789 Capital, a fund founded by pro-Trump donors in 2023. At least four of 1789’s portfolio companies have won contracts from the Trump administration. 1789 has also invested in big government contractors, such as Anduril and Elon Musk’s SpaceX.' "

"Additionally, as Common Dreams reported on Thursday, Eric Trump appeared on Fox Business to brag about a $24 million Pentagon contract secured by Foundation Future Industries, where the president’s son serves as chief strategy adviser."
