Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Senate Democrats sent a letter demanding additional information on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s financial connection to vaccine-related lawsuits ahead of Tuesday's vote to confirm him as Health and Human Services secretary.
Democrats are trying to determine Kennedy's financial stake and if that could be impacted by his possible role as HHS secretary. The senators, led by Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., have called on him to recuse himself from vaccine-related decisions if he is confirmed.
