RFK Jr. Faces Calls for Investigation Over Decapitated Whale Incident

Environmental group seeks federal probe into allegation that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. illegally transported a whale skull in the 1990s.

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund has requested NOAA to investigate RFK Jr. for potentially violating federal wildlife laws.
The incident, recounted by Kennedy's daughter in 2012, involved using a chainsaw to remove a whale's head and transporting it across state lines.
Kennedy, a former presidential candidate, recently endorsed Donald Trump after suspending his campaign.
The environmental group argues that Kennedy's actions could have hindered scientific research on marine mammals.
Kennedy has not publicly commented on the allegations, and NOAA has yet to respond to the investigation request.
