Rep. Haley Stevens Files Impeachment Articles Against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

With Republicans controlling the House, the resolution is widely expected to stall without support from Democratic leaders.

Kennedy has 'driven up health care costs' while 'tearing down the scientific institutions' Americans depend on, Stevens said
Donald Trump on Nov. 27, 2025, in Palm Beach, Fla.

Overview

  • The 13-page filing charges Kennedy with abuse of authority and undermining public health during his roughly 10 months at HHS.
  • Allegations cite cuts to cancer, childhood-cancer, SIDS, addiction and mRNA vaccine research, revised vaccine guidance, and sweeping CDC and FDA personnel changes.
  • HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon rejected the accusations as partisan theatrics and said Kennedy is focused on improving health outcomes and lowering costs.
  • Democratic leadership has not backed Stevens’ effort, and several reports note some Democrats view the move as politically motivated as she runs in Michigan’s 2026 Senate primary.
  • The push joins other symbolic impeachment bids from House Democrats, including Rep. Shri Thanedar’s measures aimed at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump.
