Michigan Democrat moves to impeach HHS secretary
Rep. Haley Stevens (D‑Mich.) announced she has begun drafting articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of creating 'health care chaos' through rising costs, cuts to research and programs, restricting vaccine access, and politicizing HHS operations — an action that could launch a formal congressional impeachment effort. HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon pushed back, calling the move a partisan stunt while Kennedy continues his agenda to change public‑health policy.
