RFK Jr. Apologizes to Trump After Leaked Call Discussing Vaccines, Assassination Attempt, and Presidential Race

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has issued an apology to former President Donald Trump after a video of their private phone conversation was leaked online. The call, which was recorded inadvertently by an in-house videographer, covered topics including vaccine injuries, the assassination attempt on Trump, and a potential collaboration between the two. During the conversation, Trump described the bullet that hit him as feeling like 'the world’s largest mosquito' and mentioned a call he had with President Joe Biden, who insensitively questioned how Trump knew to turn his head when the bullet struck. Trump also attempted to coax Kennedy out of the presidential race and shared an anti-vaccine message. Kennedy expressed regret for not stopping the recording and apologized for the leak, which was reportedly posted by his son.
