RFK Jr. Fire

The United States Secretary for Health and Social Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dismissed two of his best aids in a brutal reshuffle from the country’s sprawling health service, two people familiar with CNN told CNN.

Kennedy’s chief of staff, Heather Flick, and the deputy chief of staff of Hannah Anderson policy, left HHS after only a handful of working months, following internal clashes that led to their two moves this week.

Flick initially pushed Anderson for dissatisfaction with regard to his performance, three of the people familiar with the case said.

But the dismissal was not carried out through the appropriate processes, people said, in particular by taking the White House by surprise. These complications angry Kennedy and triggered his decision to shoot her loss of self -confidence.

In a statement, an HHS spokesperson confirmed the movements and said that the white house’s white house connection Matt Buckham would serve as an acting staff chief.

“He brings precious experience in the staff strategy and organizational management to this new role,” said the spokesperson. “Secretary Kennedy thanks the outgoing leadership for their service and is looking forward to working in close collaboration with Mr. Buckham while the department continues to advance its mission to make America again healthy.”

Kennedy did not decided to replace permanent for Flick and Anderson, said familiar people.

Neither Flick nor Anderson immediately responded to requests for comments.

This decision lets Kennedy to provide to fill the main HHS positions in HHS a few months from its mandate, because the ministry has been the subject of a thorough examination of its efforts to revise the policies of the country’s vaccines and advance a range of main health and food priorities.

Flick was among the most experienced hands in Kennedy, used to HHS during President Donald Trump’s first term, first as acting general councilor, then as an acting secretary for the administration and principal advisor to the HHS secretary, Alex Azar.

Anderson joined HHS after stays in Capitol Hill as a member of the GOP staff, in particular as the Republican health policy advisor to the main health committee of the Senate.
