Yes. He also blamed me, a neurologist with a blog, for measles outbreaks. RFK jr was a blameless angel.

A measles outbreak now, 2 months after his nomination, can hardly be his fault, though, could it? Falling vaccine coverage over the years is a problem that likely increased due to the failed COVID-19 policies that you championed.

Dhillon is leaking this because she's not at all confident she could even get an indictment, so this is the only time where she can use it to attempt to slander Hutchinson.

BREAKING: Judge Sorokin upholds magistrate judge's order requiring discovery to be produced by the Trump administration in Kseniia Petrova's vindictive prosecution claim, among other discovery and grand jury instructions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Because the government has identified no legal or factual error in Judge Dein's analysis
of Petrova's entitlement to discovery concerning vindictive prosecution— and because the record and the law plainly support her conclusion in the circumstances presented the government's third and final parry fails.
Accordingly, the government's appeal (Doc. No. 63), ably briefed by both parties, is
DENIED. The parties shall meet and confer and shall notify the Court by October 23, 2026, whether a further ruling is needed as to the scope and timing of the discovery to be produced
pursuant to Judge Dein's order, affirmed in full here. If so, those issues shall be raised before
Judge Dein at the final status conference, presently scheduled for November 30, 2026. See Doc.
No. 84.
SO ORDERED.
Is/ Leo T. Sorokin
United States District Judge

An amazing moment in our court fight to stop Trump from selling early access to government information. @freedom.press and @theintercept.com are our great clients, @citizensforethics.org, Yale Media, and Altshuler are our incredible co-counsel. Let's stop massive corruption.
Now in SDNY, the DOJ is trying to justify the $100k Truth Social API.

DOJ: "Presidents are often known by the way they communicate. Roosevelt had his fireside chats ... Trump uses Truth Social."

Judge: "Well, Roosevelt didn't charge money for his fireside chats, did he?"
