Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, will divest his interest from pending complaints he is involved in against the United States and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program if confirmed, according to filings released Wednesday.
However, under the ethics agreement, Kennedy will still receive “complete and final payment” for amounts owed to him from the law firm Wisner Baum for “all concluded cases that involve claims against the United States, including any claims filed under the VICP.”
The agreement also allows him to receive payment for pending cases in an amount “to be agreed upon” with Wisner Baum before assuming duties as HHS secretary, should he be confirmed.
