Looks like that didn't take long! Lawyer up RFK Jr.

What did you think?

A letter to Samoa's prime minister is the key document in Don Lemon's latest warning to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Speaking directly to the camera from inside a vehicle, Lemon says Democratic senators Ron Wyden and Angela Alsobrooks are investigating whether the health and human services secretary lied to Congress about his visit.

Lemon's argument is specific: Kennedy told Congress the trip had nothing to do with vaccinations, he says, yet Kennedy's letter to the prime minister repeatedly mentioned vaccines. Lemon presents that contrast as grounds for lawmakers to demand the records, not as a finding that Kennedy broke the law.

The Short drew about 36,000 views in six hours, an unusually quick start for Lemon's short-form uploads. Its comment count had already exceeded the channel's usual full first day, too.

Lemon opens with the blunt instruction, "RFK Jr., lawyer up." But the concrete development he describes is a document request: he says the senators want records from Kennedy's anti-vaccine organization by December 4. He also acknowledges counterclaims from Kennedy's department, without detailing them, before urging the senators to obtain the underlying documents.
