"The onetime independent presidential candidate, who dropped out and is backing Donald J. Trump, has in recent years promoted unproven theories about the dangers of pharmaceutical treatments."

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters on an online organizing call this week that former President Donald J. Trump had “promised” him “control” of the nation’s public health agencies, should Mr. Trump win the election next week.

The Trump campaign, however, would confirm no such commitments.

“President Trump announced a Trump-Vance transition leadership group to initiate the process of preparing for what comes after the election,” Steven Cheung, a campaign spokesman, said in a statement. “But formal discussions of who will serve in a second Trump Administration is premature.”

Mr. Kennedy, who suspended his presidential campaign in August, said in a text message to The New York Times that a video of the call, which circulated on social media Tuesday, was a recording of an internal discussion with campaign workers discussing get-out-the-vote efforts for Mr. Trump."
