Sen. Scott Meets Trump HHS Nominee

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), member of the Senate Finance Committee, issued the following statement after meeting with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President-elect Trump's nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:

"I had a productive discussion with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. this evening about the future of our nation's healthcare system, preventing taxpayer funded abortion, and Americans' long-term wellbeing. President Trump won a sweeping victory and should have the latitude to choose the Cabinet he feels will best serve the American people. I look forward to learning more and further considering his nomination during his upcoming confirmation hearing."
