Trump officials accused of putting special interests before voters in health agenda

A former adviser to Robert F Kennedy Jr has accused Trump administration officials of prioritizing special interest groups over voters, alleging they stalled the "Make America healthy again" agenda to take money from the sugar industry before the midterm elections, which Republicans lost. Calley Means, who resigned two weeks ago, blamed former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and her team for catering to special interests, including accepting funds from the sugar industry and pressuring health agencies to approve flavored e-cigarettes. Wiles was removed from her role last week and replaced by Stephen Miller. Several officials denied the claims, with policy adviser James Blair threatening to sue Means and stating he opposed flavored vaping. Kennedy reaffirmed support for President Trump, while the White House denied that outside groups influence policy decisions.
