Robert F Kennedy Jr was called a "predator" by his cousin Caroline Kennedy ahead of his confirmation hearing to approve him as Donald Trump’s top health official.

The former US ambassador to Australia and Japan spoke in a video posted by her son, Jack Schlossberg, stating that she felt an "obligation to speak out.”
