Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the 26th U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), confirmed in February 2025. There are no reported criminal indictments, charges, or convictions against him. However, his tenure has been marked by significant controversy and allegations of ethical and administrative misconduct. Critics and some lawmakers have accused him of breaking confirmation commitments regarding vaccine policy, using office funds for promotional videos, and creating potential conflicts of interest due to his ongoing financial relationships with law firms involved in litigation against vaccine manufacturers. He has not been formally charged with corruption or fraud.
