Alex Jones said he “confirmed” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would drop out of the election and endorse Donald Trump for president this Friday.
“I was able to confirm about an hour ago that RFK Jr. is going to be endorsing President Trump this Friday in Los Angeles,” Jones said Tuesday evening.
“Also— Alex Jones reveals RFK Jr. is in consideration for Attorney General and other Cabinet positions,” Jones wrote.
“I was given other details, but I’m not going to give those out about how they’re going to do it at this point. This is from inside the RFK Jr. campaign from a very, very trusted source,” he continued.
“I also had sources very close to his campaign, high up, that had told me that he had been gunning for the head of the EPA or the head of the NIH or even the attorney general slot that his father, Robert F. Kennedy, senior had,” he added.

In a discussion with Tom Bilyeu on Impact Theory, Shanahan said their team has two options at this stage in the race.
“There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump. We draw somehow more votes from Trump,” Shanahan said.
“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and we walk away from that. We explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she added.

A reporter asked Donald Trump if he would consider giving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a role in his administration.

“Can I ask you about RFK? Because just moments ago, his running mate said they’re considering endorsing you. Have you considered him for a role in the administration and what role would that be?” the reporter asked.
“Well, we haven’t but I would love that endorsement. Because I’ve always liked him,” Trump responded.
“Would you also consider putting him in the administration?” the reporter asked.
“You’re asking me a very unusual question. I haven’t been asked that question yet. I like him a lot. I respect him a lot. I probably would if something like that would happen,” Trump said.

"My father and my uncle were members of a Democratic Party that was at the forefront of making sure that every American could vote for the candidate they wanted to. Today’s Democratic Party is doing the opposite," RFK Jr. wrote Tuesday.
"I'm at the state courthouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, this morning. I'm supposed to be at a meeting with community leaders just outside of Chicago today talking about criminal justice reform. But I had to come here because the Democratic Party is suing me in Pennsylvania," he said.
"And by the way, tomorrow I'm going to Mineola, Long Island because they're suing me there too. They're suing me all over the country," he continued.

From the Associated Press:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. showed up too late to testify Tuesday in a court case in Pennsylvania where Democratic activists are trying to bar him from the ballot for president in the premier battleground state, prompting testy exchanges between the judge and Kennedy’s lawyer.
Lawyers for the two Democratic activists who filed the challenge say Kennedy’s candidacy paperwork states a fake home address — an allegation being aired in other state courts — and falls short of the signature-gathering requirement applied by state law to third-party candidates.
Kennedy showed up an hour and 40 minutes late, blaming a canceled flight from Boston to Philadelphia the previous night, and never testified after Commonwealth Court Judge Lori Dumas chose to proceed without him as a witness.
“This is the first that I’m hearing about this,” Dumas said when told about Kennedy’s absence. Shortly after Kennedy arrived, the judge adjourned the hearing and did not say when she will rule.
