Federal authorities have ceased their investigation into Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding allegations that he cut off and collected the head of a dead whale many years ago. The inquiry was dropped after Kennedy denied the claims in a letter to the National Marine Fisheries Service. The accusations originated from an interview where Kennedy’s daughter claimed he had taken the whale’s head and transported it on their family minivan. The story resurfaced when Kennedy was running for president, along with another odd revelation that he had once left a bear carcass in Central Park as a prank. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, accusing Kennedy of violating wildlife protection laws. Kennedy refuted these accusations, stating he had never taken a whale specimen from Massachusetts or transported marine mammal remains across state lines.
Kennedy’s denial of the claims led the agency to close the investigation, as confirmed by the FOIA documents obtained by Bloomberg. Kennedy did not respond to requests for comment from Bloomberg. In August, he withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed former President Donald Trump. The article concludes with copyright information and a link to the original source.
