bbc.com —
Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, as his health secretary. Kennedy has a history of promoting health information that scientists dispute. If confirmed, he will oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Trump also announced North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as his interior secretary. Other nominations include Marco Rubio for secretary of state and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. Kennedy, who previously ran for president, has criticized the pharmaceutical industry and expressed a desire to address substance abuse issues. His nomination comes as Trump builds his administration following last week's election victory.
