11:11Now PlayingUS News: During a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Wednesday, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) confronted US President Donald Trump's HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over reports of the alleged sexual abuse of a 3-year-old girl in a foster home under the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Wyden pressed Kennedy sharply, questioning how the nation’s top health official was unaware of such a serious case reported in national media. He said it was “unconscionable” that a child could be harmed under the agency’s oversight without immediate awareness at the highest level. Wyden asked pointedly, “Whose job is it to inform you of something like this?” while criticizing what he described as selective concern and lack of accountability.
The senator also raised broader concerns about child welfare oversight, referencing the large number of migrant children previously lost track of under federal care. Kennedy responded by defending his position and shifting focus to past administrations, arguing that tens of thousands of children had been affected over time and accusing critics of political bias.
The exchange quickly escalated, with Wyden accusing Kennedy of deflecting responsibility and failing to provide direct answers. The hearing highlighted deep partisan tensions over child welfare oversight, vaccine policy, and federal accountability in health and human services programs.
