suggested Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the second Trump administration could eliminate entire departments within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for “corruption.”

The former independent presidential candidate spoke to MSNBC on Wednesday about President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election.

Kennedy, who has been a key figure in Trump’s campaign since endorsing him, was asked about his potential role in the next White House and whether he would begin “to release the senior federal service workers who are currently at the FDA and at the CDC. .”

“In some categories, I would say,” Kennedy replied.

As for whether to eliminate entire agencies like the FDA, Kennedy was less committed.

“To eliminate agencies, as long as it requires congressional approval, I wouldn’t do that,” Kennedy said.

He continued: “But I can get the corruption out of the agencies. I’ve been doing this for 40 years. I sued all those agencies. I have a PhD in corporate corruption and that is what I have Once they are not corrupted, once Americans get good science and are allowed to make their own choices, they will become much healthier.”

Kennedy posted the interview from his X account and reiterated his efforts to “clean up corruption” in agencies like the FDA.

“President Trump has asked me to do three things: 1. Clean up the corruption in our government health agencies. 2. Return these agencies to their rich tradition of standard, evidence-based science. 3. Make America healthy again by ending the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy wrote.

Kennedy previously ran as an independent candidate before suspending his campaign in August to endorse Trump. Since then, campaigned on behalf of Trump and hinted at a potential role in the White House.

Days before the election, he suggested that Trump would work remove fluoride from drinking water.

“On January 20th, the Trump White House will advise all US water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy posted on X. “Fluoride is an industrial waste linked to arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, disorders of neurodevelopment, and thyroid disease,” he claimed, adding that former President Trump and first lady Melania Trump “want to make America healthy again.”
