Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he’s been asked to serve on former President Donald Trump’s transition team following his endorsement of the Republican nominee.
In an interview with conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson released Monday, Kennedy reiterated that he’s going to campaign on behalf of Trump, and said he’s involved in conversations about “policy issues” with Trump’s team, including conversations about potential staff for his next administration.
“I’m working with the campaign. We’re working on policy issues together,” Kennedy said. “I’ve been asked to go on to the transition team, and, you know – to help pick the people who will be running the government. And I’m – I’m looking forward to that.”
CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
The comment is the latest detail revealed about the conversations between Kennedy leading up to and following his endorsement of Trump. Prior to suspending his presidential campaign, Kennedy and Trump spoke on multiple occasions, and discussed the possibility of Kennedy dropping out of the race in exchange for a role in his administration. After he dropped out, both Kennedy and Trump suggested Kennedy would play oversee a health-related portfolio in the next Trump administration.
