RFK Jr. Pushes Daughter In Law For Top CIA Role Over JFK Conspiracies

In new reporting from Axios, Donald Trump's selection to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is now pushing to have his daughter in law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, to serve as deputy director of the CIA. Fox Kennedy has a long history of working for the Agency and served as an undercover spy for nearly a decade. 

But, we are now learning that the reason Kennedy is pushing for his daughter in law to join the Agency in a top role stems from his belief that she could help uncover secrets regarding the assassination of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy. 

RFK Jr. has long spread conspiracy theories related to his uncle's assasination, claiming that the federal government and the CIA may have been involved in the assassination plot. There has been no evidence released to support Kennedy's claims. 

According to Axios, Fox Kennedy would have a steep uphill climb to be confirmed should she be selected as the deputy director of the Agency. When she first left the Agency, Fox Kennedy published a memoir without getting prior approval from the Agency's vetting team. 

In addition, Fox Kennedy has made concerning comments about ISIS. During a 2016 interview, Fox Kennedy stated that "The only real way to disarm your enemy is to listen to them." The enemy she was referring to was ISIS. 

Whether Trump listens to RFK Jr. and nominates her, however, remains to be seen.
