- RFK Jr. funded personal security from Office of Minority Health — The Wall Street Journal reported that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. funded enhanced personal security by taking funds from the department's Office of Minority Health, an office created by the Reagan administration after research showed disparities in Black life expectancy and infant mortality. Kennedy also accepted $4 million in book advances and more than $270,000 in gifts from allies connected to the "Make American Healthy Again" movement interested in policy changes, and his wife accepted $210,000 in consulting fees from a MAHA advocacy group.
