Democratic Senators Launch Inquiry Into Kennedy’s Samoa Trip and Testimony
The senators want documents after AP and The Guardian reported a letter that used vaccine-related terms eight times.
- Two Democratic senators, Ron Wyden and Angela Alsobrooks, launched an investigation Wednesday into whether Health Secretary Robert Kennedy lied to Congress regarding his 2019 trip to Samoa.
- Reporting by The Associated Press and The Guardian revealed documents in August contradicting Kennedy's testimony that his visit had "nothing to do with vaccines," despite mentioning vaccines eight times in correspondence.
- Wyden and Alsobrooks sent a letter to CHD, a nonprofit group formerly chaired by Kennedy, requesting documents related to his Samoa travel, presidential campaign, and Senate confirmation process.
- This inquiry represents one of many investigations planned into the Trump administration after Democrats regained control of the House and Senate from Republicans in the midterm elections.
- As Democrats prepare to retake Congress in January, Wyden is expected to chair the Senate Finance Committee, which maintains oversight authority over The Department of Health.
