Ex-RFK Jr. aide accuses Trump officials of favoring industry over voters

cbsnews.com —

A former senior White House adviser and top aide to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is accusing several Trump administration officials of prioritizing industry interests over voter health as part of the White House's midterm strategy. Calley Means, who resigned last month, told "Face the Nation" that officials including former chief of staff Susie Wiles catered to the vaping, food, pharmaceutical, and pesticide industries. He claimed Wiles and her deputy James Blair pushed HHS to approve fruit-flavored vapes, which the FDA did in May. Wiles denied the allegations, and Blair said Means misrepresented his role. Means also accused White House adviser Heidi Overton of blocking health policies and influencing a Supreme Court brief on glyphosate, a herbicide linked to cancer.
