Lawmakers Press RFK Jr. Over Undisclosed Fee Transfer to Wisner Baum
Democratic senators say the change could create an ongoing conflict of interest and have asked whether Wisner Baum offered any future payment or reward.
- On Thursday, Congressional Democrats sent a letter to Health Secretary Robert Kennedy questioning an undisclosed change to his ethics agreement involving his financial interests in the law firm Wisner Baum.
- Before his confirmation, Kennedy promised to divest litigation fees to his son; however, he transferred the interests to Wisner Baum after initially disclosing a 10% contingency fee in January 2025.
- Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, Richard Blumenthal, and Angela Alsobrooks are demanding answers, citing concerns that any agreement for future payments could create an ongoing conflict of interest for the Health Secretary.
- The lawmakers stated that withholding this change from Congress is "deeply alarming," questioning Kennedy's transparency and compliance with federal ethics disclosure laws and regulations.
- Kennedy has not yet responded to the inquiry as of Friday, and The Department previously revealed the transfer in an August letter, though it provided no explanation.
