But before taking on the role he, like all of Trump's cabinet picks, faces a confirmation hearing.

One protester interrupted the hearing shouting "you lie" as RFK Jr told Senators he wasn't anti-vaccine or anti-safety.

RFK Jr has a history of making baseless health claims, including that vaccines can cause autism and that Wi-fi technology causes cancer.
