Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got into a heated exchange with Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth

Kennedy Jr. earned more than $2.4 million as a consultant referring cases to the law firm Wisner Baum, government records show. Wisner Baum is suing Merck & Co. over allegations that the pharmaceutical company failed to properly warn patients about HPV vaccine risks.

Mass., expresses her belief Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. could "bankrupt vaccine manufacturers" and make money off of that.

Sen. Warren sent almost 200 questions to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on topics like vaccine misinformation, abortion access, and food regulation.

The exchange erupted when Warren asked Kennedy about his previous anti-vaccine statements, which he appeared to walk back during the hearing.

Mass., questioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his confirmation hearing and pressed him about influencing and profiting from lawsuits against vaccine makers if he served as secretary of health and human services.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) raised her voice to yell back at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his confirmation hearing on Wednesday as the Health and Human Services nominee tried to twist her question in knots.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will stand before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee Thursday as President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Warren pointed out that the government financial disclosures Kennedy filed as part of the confirmation process said he had made $2.5 million from a law firm that has sued vaccine manufacturers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick to the lead the Department of Health and Human Services, was pressed on possible conflicts of interest during his Senate confirmation hearing.

You won't go to work for a drug company after you leave HHS, but you and I both know there's another way to make money,” Warren said.
