Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will testify before a Senate panel next week, a high-stakes setting for the Cabinet member to be peppered with questions about firing the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kennedy will go before the Senate Finance Committee on Sept. 4 for a hearing on “the president’s 2026 health care agenda,” the panel revealed Thursday, but will undoubtedly also be grilled on ousting former CDC Director Susan Monarez after less than one month on the job.
