Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces growing criticism from conservative Republicans over his ongoing financial ties to trial lawyers who donated millions to Democratic candidates. The controversy centers on Kennedy’s continued earnings from law firms that helped fund President Biden’s campaigns while he serves in the Trump administration.
According to The Hill, Kennedy has earned more than $2.5 million since 2022 from referral fees with the Wisner Baum law firm, including $850,000 last year. He also worked as counsel for Morgan & Morgan, the nation’s largest personal injury firm, from 2016 to 2022. The firm’s founder, John Morgan, previously raised $1.7 million for Biden’s 2020 campaign and has stated he gives money to Democratic leaders whenever asked.
