RFK Jr. softens pledge to find autism cause by September

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is walking back the timeline on his promise to find the cause of autism spectrum disorder.

Kennedy said during an interview with CNN late Thursday that the new deadline will be around March of next year at the earliest.

Kennedy was pressed on "The Source with Kaitlan Collins" about his testimony during a House Appropriations Committee hearing earlier this month, when he doubled down on his commitment to find the cause of autism by September.
