Did Trump Offer RFK a Job in Exchange For His Endorsement?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race and went all in for former President Donald Trump, and the endorsement is already paying off. The New York Times reported Trump is making Kennedy and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat turned independent, honorary co-chairs of his presidential transition team, should he win in November.

In that role, Kennedy will help create the policies and hire the staff for a second Trump administration. Kennedy denied that he gave his endorsement in exchange for a cabinet post or other government position.

“There’s been no commitments,” Kennedy said on Fox News Sunday, Aug. 25. “You know I met with President Trump, with his family, with his close advisors and we just made a general commitment that we’re going to work together. 

The Washington Post reported that Kennedy called both Trump and Vice President Harris before he dropped out. He talked to Trump about endorsing him and taking a job in the administration. Now Trump and Kennedy are being accused of breaking federal law.
