RFK JR. TO CIA?: Advisors to Donald Trump have a new role in mind for RFK Jr., the rogue legacy candidate who recently confessed to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park: Top spook. 

RFK Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign Friday and endorsed Trump. 

Trump’s elder son, Don Jr., endorsed the idea of RFK Jr. joining his father’s administration as head of a “major three-letter agency” and letting him “blow it up.”

Former Gen. Michael Flynn, who briefly served as Trump’s national security advisor and became a much-beloved figure in the QAnon conspiracy community,  also said he liked the idea. “Make him CIA director, and we can finally learn exactly who killed his uncle, his dad, MLK Jr., Malcolm X, etc,” Flynn wrote in a post on X. 

No word on this from RFK Jr.’s campaign manager (and daughter-in-law), Amaryllis Fox, who did work at the CIA and published a disputed memoir of her time there. Lately, she’s been busy posting the history of CIA covert action on X.
