Shanahan: Someone ‘controlling’ RFK Jr. decisions
- Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s former running mate, publicly accused someone outside President Trump of controlling Kennedy's decisions amid controversy over Casey Means's Surgeon General nomination in May 2025.
- Shanahan claims she was promised if she supported Kennedy’s Senate confirmation, neither Means nor her brother Calley would receive HHS appointments, and more qualified people would be chosen, but this did not happen.
- President Trump nominated Casey Means, a wellness influencer and functional medicine practitioner without active clinical experience, as his Surgeon General after his previous nominee withdrew over credential concerns.
- Kennedy described Means as a “breath of fresh air” and someone perfectly suited for the role, while Shanahan expressed deep suspicion about Means and her brother, suggesting they seemed to be heavily influenced or controlled by external forces.
- The appointment sparked internal disputes within Kennedy’s circle, raised questions about his autonomy, and fueled broader controversies about vaccine skepticism and administrative control.
