Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared in a New York court to address a lawsuit alleging he falsely claimed residency in New York while seeking to be on the state's ballot. The civil trial, set to begin in Albany, accuses Kennedy of stating his residence was in New York's northern suburbs on his nominating petition, despite living in Los Angeles since 2014.
The lawsuit, filed by Clear Choice PAC, a super PAC supporting President Joe Biden, aims to invalidate Kennedy's petition. Kennedy, known for his famous name and loyal base, has garnered attention as a potential influential independent candidate in decades, sparking concerns from both major parties about his impact on the election.
