RFK, Jr. "has worked with OT Scientologist attorneys to litigate against vaccines" Journalist Tony Ortega

"Scientology’s 2025: Another year is in the books at the Underground Bunker!" from Journalist Tony Ortega's Underground Bunker Substack. https://tonyortega.substack.com/ He's been investigating and writing about Scientology for many years. His Scientology/White House story is the #6 story of the year.

"6. Scientology’s ties to the White House"

"When President Trump was elected for his second term in 2024, Mike Rinder predicted that it would mean four years of inaction on Scientology at the Department of Justice. That certainly seemed likely after Trump named Scientology-friendly former Florida AG Pam Bondi to be his US Attorney General. We also noted that Scientology’s top donor, Trish Duggan, was appointed by Trump to the board of the Kennedy Center, and OT Scientologist John P. Coale (Greta Van Susteren’s husband) was named deputy envoy to Ukraine and has also become Trump’s man in Belarus. We also noted that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has worked with OT Scientologist attorneys to litigate against vaccines, and then very recently, Trump commuted the sentence of a Scientologist fraudster but didn’t grant clemency to his non-Scientologist partner in crime. Has any White House been as friendly to Scientology?"
