Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks after being sworn in as Health and Human Services Secretary in the Oval Office on Feb. 13.

Robert F Kennedy Jr, secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, told reporters Thursday that he plans to reinstate many employees and programs he began cutting last week.

In head-scratching remarks, Kennedy said he knew he was firing more workers than necessary when he announced 10,000 job cuts by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
