Following his controversial digital relationship with New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, three more women have come forward, alleging they had romantic ties with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Despite these revelations, it appears this won't prevent the political figure from securing a position in the Trump administration if the former president wins the election.
There have been reports speculating that Kennedy might be excluded from Trump’s inner circle, but sources claim it won’t negatively affect him at all.
“Yeah, right,” scoffed one political source. “It may even elevate him. In DC, this is barely a scandal.”
Another source told us, “I’ve been told Trump doesn’t care about RFK’s affair. He’s focused on winning first before dividing up the cabinet appointments and ambassadorships.”
Yet another MAGA insider said GOP members “couldn’t care less.”
“We are not the party of George W. Bush anymore,” the source explained. “The party has evolved in a good way, we are not policing what people do in their bedrooms.”
The insider added, “People don’t care. The country has moved on from that. If [people in the campaign] have a problem with him, it’s not him having a mistress on the side. Who cares?”
Kennedy officially endorsed Trump in August after ending his presidential campaign.
A source told Mediaite that Kennedy’s affairs could present an issue when it comes to obtaining security clearance, as it could make him susceptible to blackmail.
However, our insider countered this by saying, “There might be positions that this would preclude him from. There are plenty of jobs in the White House without a security clearance,” such as “if he wants to be in something health-related.”
News about Kennedy’s textual relationship with Nuzzi, which started after she profiled him for her publication, surfaced in September. The relationship, however, was reportedly not physical.
But a source told Page Six the two engaged in “incredible” FaceTime sex, and even exchanged declarations of love.
Kennedy has denied the affair, and some in his circle hinted that he may sue her. Nuzzi has been placed on leave as New York Magazine conducts an internal investigation.
