Social media users have accused the former president of breaking the law by allegedly offering RFK Jr. a cabinet position for his endorsement if he’s reelected.
Former President Donald Trump has been accused of a new federal crime by social media users who claim that he promised former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a position in his administration if he’s reelected for his endorsement.
On Friday, Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump, the GOP presidential nominee. Later that night, he joined Trump at a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona.
During his speech, Kennedy Jr. mentioned the issues that he and Trump agree on such as “having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic”, ending the Russia-Ukraine war, free speech and rebuilding the middle class.
Before Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the race, there were reports that he met with Trump and attempted to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, about his political future.
The reported in July that Kennedy Jr. spoke with Trump about endorsing the former president and taking a job his administration if he wins in November, according to people familiar with the matter. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign confirmed that he met with Trump “to discuss national unity” but didn’t go into the specifics of the meeting.
Meanwhile, Kennedy Jr.’s campaign officials told the Post in an August 14 report that he sought a meeting with Harris the week before to discuss a possible role in her administration if he supported her.
