• Bill Gates helped dissuade Trump from adding RFK Jr. to his first administration, a new book says. • According to the book, Trump was set to let RFK Jr lead a task force on vaccines and autism. • Then, Bill Gates told Trump in 2017 that it would be a "terrible mistake," writes the book's author, Jonathan Karl.

Bill Gates played a key role in keeping Robert F. Kennedy, Jr out of President Donald Trump's first administration, a new book says.

When Kennedy met with the president-elect at Trump Tower in early 2017, he told reporters afterward that Trump had asked him to chair a "commission on vaccine safety and scientific integrity."

Spokespeople for Trump later put out a statement saying that no decision had been made, and Kennedy ultimately never joined his first administration.
