Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. engaged in discussions this month with former President Donald Trump about endorsing Trump's campaign in exchange for a senior position in a potential second Trump administration, according to multiple sources. The proposed role involved overseeing a portfolio of health and medical issues. The Trump campaign, however, rejected the offer. The discussions reportedly began hours after an attempted assassination. Some Trump advisers believed RFK Jr. would not be appropriate for the job.
