    During a Senate confirmation hearing on January 29, 2025, Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed HHS Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on potential conflicts of interest related to pharmaceutical companies. Warren asked Kennedy if he would commit to not taking any money from drug companies after leaving office and to not have any financial stake in lawsuits against them. Kennedy responded, "I'm happy to commit to that. I don't think any of them want to give me money." However, he refused to commit to not suing drug companies, stating, "I'm not going to agree to not sue drug companies or anybody." The exchange grew heated as Kennedy accused Warren of asking him not to sue pharmaceutical companies, to which Warren replied, "No, I am not. My question is stop enriching." Warren asserted, "No one should be fooled here," expressing concern that "kids might die, but Robert Kennedy can keep cashing in." Kennedy assured, "I'll comply with all the ethical guidelines," and stated, "I support vaccines; the only thing I want is good science."
