Trump To Investigate Chronic Health Problems, Childhood Diseases As Tribute To RFK Jr.

45 weeks ago Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Republican nominee Donald Trump on stage during a rally in Glendale, Arizona on Friday (August 23).

While on stage, Trump described Kennedy Jr. as a "very low-key person", but "highly respected" nonetheless.

The former president promised to set up a commission to investigate presidential assassination attempts, which he said would be tasked with releasing documents pertaining to the 1963 assassination of then-President John F. Kennedy, Kennedy Jr.'s uncle.

Trump also said he would install a panel to investigate "an increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases" as a "tribute" to Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy Jr. abandoned his campaign earlier on Friday and endorsed Trump, ending a presidential bid that he began as a Democrat trading on one of the most famous names in American politics.

Strategists said it was unclear whether Kennedy's endorsement would help Trump, who is locked in a tight contest with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
