Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

While Trump is motivated by power, it is also true that he is driven to conceal the thing that threatens that power: whatever is hidden in the Epstein files. When we finally see what’s inside the case file, we must ensure he is held accountable, Marc Elias writes.
