The top Democrat on the powerful Senate Finance Committee is launching an investigation into Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., alleging he lied to Congress during his 2025 confirmation hearing.

The investigation centers on what Kennedy has said about the purposes of a 2019 trip to Samoa amid concerns in the country about the safety of measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.
