"R.F.K. Jr. Vows to Investigate Political Bias in January 6 Prosecutions"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate and vaccine skeptic, has called for an investigation into the Justice Department's prosecution of the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters, downplaying the severity of the attack and expressing sympathy for the rioters. Despite retracting a statement sympathizing with the rioters, Kennedy has continued to minimize the events of Jan. 6 and align himself with former President Donald Trump's position, while also promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and expressing concern about the treatment of the rioters.
