Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Saturday he is being investigated over a decades-old story that he decapitated a dead whale and transported its skull across state lines.
Kennedy made the admission during a campaign event for former President Trump, saying he had received a letter last week.
The report comes weeks after a left-wing environmental group resurfaced the whale story and called for an investigation.
“I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago,” Kennedy said Saturday.
“This is all about the weaponization of our government against political opponents,” he added.
Kennedy did not offer details about the incident, but it first became public thanks to a 2012 interview with Kennedy’s daughter, Kick Kennedy, with Town and Country Magazine.
In the interview, Kick describes her father cutting the head off of a dead whale and strapping it to the roof of their vehicle, before driving from a beach in Massachusetts to Mount Kisco, New York.

so rfk jr, was a disaster in the making and then ‘joined’ trump to make him look bad.
probably planned this out years in advance.
Democrat desperation.
This wouldn’t have anything to do with RFK Jr. going over to the American (GOP) side of the aisle, would it? Naw! Of course not.
The Deep State is big mad. RFK is having an impact and now they are going after him.
Actually, you are being duped by the Deep State, IMO. I would never vote for the man, but he is 100% right on some issues, including fighting the Commie censorship in America.
phew, I thought he decapitated Oprah for a moment.
Would a 5-year statute of limitations period apply to this?
Of course, the Deep State can employ workarounds such as obstruction, lying to federal LEO etc
...but Mayorkas assures us there is no politicization of the justice system!
Go back to Reddit.
File this under just plain weird...
In an effort to head off some of the stupid evolving on another thread...
No, you dont taxidermy a whale head.
He probably put it out in an old shed or covered somewhere away from the house -
Yes, the stink helps bring the carrion beetles.
Fascism isnt the destination, its the last stop on the road from freedom before communism.
No only is it well outside the statute of limitations…it’s actually legal to collect bones from dead marine life if within 1/4 mile of the beach. So a non-crime..beyond the statute of limitations by 15 years…but he is being investigated? That’s what happen when you endorse Trump.
He’ll be charged with “Transporting contraband across State Lines for illegal Porpoises.”.................
Reading the headline I assumed it was the Bee
Now I want a whale skull.
This is just a deflection from the “ eating your dogs and cats” revelation.
It was a dead whale what were they going to do with stuff it an mount it geez some peoples kids.
A clear example of the truth that most people commit numerous felonies each month, whether they want to or not.
This occurred over 20 years ago.
Any statute of limitations is long passed.
This is just use of government to harass.
