Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. brought in more than $10 million last year across various sources — from a health organization and law firm campaigning against vaccines to a right-wing college and a conservative book publisher — according to his latest public financial disclosure.

Anti-vaccine activist Kennedy, a member of a storied U.S. political dynasty, posted a video on YouTube on Friday asking Americans to join him for a "major announcement" in Philadelphia on Oct. 9. "I'll be speaking about a sea change in American politics," he said, decrying corruption in "both parties." "How are we going to wi......

During an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he takes "precautions" to avoid being assassinated like his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.

RFK Jr. told Rogan that he suspects the CIA was involved in his uncle's death.

“He realized very early on that the purpose of the CIA and the intelligence apparatus was to create a constant pipeline of new wars for the military industrial complex,” he said....

The Federal Election Commission granted Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. more time to reveal his personal finances, buying the member of the wealthy Kennedy family an extra 45 days to disclose his assets, income and liabilities as required for all presidential hopefuls.

Kennedy joins several other members of a growing field of presidential candidates who requested and received extensions until June 29 or beyond to file public financial disclosures, including former President Donald J.
