The agency is probing a decades-old event where Kennedy allegedly transported a whale's head across state lines.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed he is under investigation by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
  • The investigation pertains to an incident from roughly 30 years ago where Kennedy allegedly decapitated a dead whale and transported its head from Cape Cod to New York.
  • Kennedy's daughter, Kick Kennedy, recounted the story in a 2012 Town & Country interview, which recently resurfaced.
  • The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund called for the investigation, citing potential legal and environmental violations.
