RFK Jr. says he is being investigated for collecting whale specimen
Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Saturday he is being investigated for collecting a whale specimen.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Saturday he is being investigated for collecting a whale specimen.
"I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago," Kennedy said during a campaign event for former President Donald Trump in Glendale, Arizona, noting that he received the letter "this week."
Kennedy said that he responded in a letter, baselessly linking the National Marine Fisheries Service with whale deaths and calling for the agency to investigate.
"This is all about the weaponization of our government against political opponents," he said.
Kennedy did not go into details about the whale incident, but his daughter had previously described a situation involving a whale that took place 30 years ago.
