Donald Trump\u2019s team appeared to be quietly distancing itself from Robert F Kennedy Jr in the immediate aftermath of the election amid speculation that the former presidential candidate\u00a0could be handed control of US public health agencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Advisers to the president-elect questioned whether Mr Kennedy, a vaccine sceptic who has also been the subject of a series of bizarre stories involving animals, would make it through\u00a0a security check for a cabinet position<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It raises questions about what role, if any, Mr Kennedy would be given in the Trump administration, as the Republican\u2019s transition team sets about\u00a0filling thousands of federal posts<\/a>\u00a0for his return to the White House.<\/p>\n

Mr Kennedy had previously said that Mr Trump had \u201cpromised\u201d him control of the Department of Health and Human Services and public health agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p>\n

However, there is disquiet in the Trump team about media attention on the former independent candidate after he was pressed in a post-election interview with NBC about his vaccine scepticism.<\/p>\n
