"RFK Jr. has lied to the Senate": Lawmakers call for criminal probe, ouster

Senators are demanding that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy resign or face a criminal probe, following the release of documents which they claim prove he lied during his Senate confirmation hearings last year. According to Sen. Edward J. Markey, this is not a one-time mistake but a pattern of behavior. Markey asserts that Kennedy has lied to both the Senate and the American public, putting children's health at risk in the name of his anti-vaccine campaign.

Sen. Ron Wyden has taken the allegations further, claiming that the documents provide proof of Kennedy's lies during his confirmation hearing, which he describes as a criminal act. Wyden has called for the matter to be handed over to the U.S. Department of Justice for further investigation. In a separate statement, Wyden labeled Kennedy's platform as "built on lies and grifts that leave a trail of dead children in their wake." The source explicitly states that allegations of lying to Congress are being made against Kennedy.
