There’ve been plenty of signs that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is trying to play nice with President Donald Trump and his second administration. In New Mexico this week, the company’s legal team showed that may not extend to Trump’s health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
A lawyer for the tech giant questioned the veracity of information coming from the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically because Kennedy leads the agency.
Kevin Huff, an attorney representing Meta, argued in court that a recent report on the dangers of screen time from the office of the surgeon general lacked “trustworthiness” due to Kennedy’s involvement and shouldn’t be allowed as evidence in ongoing litigation against the company.
