NBC News' "Here's the Scoop": Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced tough questions on Capitol Hill today, as senators pressed him over turmoil in his department, cuts to vaccine research, and the appointment of anti-vaccine activists to key posts.

Host Yasmin Vossoughian speaks with Dr. Houry about why she stepped down and what it means for public health.
