Home Newsroom Press Releases April 29, 2026 After Committee Hearing, Warren Presses RFK Jr. on Commitments Involving TrumpRx Scams, Big Pharma Deals “Your responses to questions about the Administration’s deals with pharmaceutical manufacturers raise troubling questions about President Trump’s failure to reduce drug prices for Americans. I write to follow up on the commitments you made during that exchange.” Text of Letter (PDF) Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on multiple commitments she secured during an exchange in last week’s Senate Finance Committee hearing. “Your responses to questions about the Administration’s deals with pharmaceutical manufacturers raise troubling questions about President Trump’s failure to reduce drug prices for Americans,” wrote Senator Warren. “I write to follow up on the commitments you made during that exchange.” In the hearing, Secretary Kennedy confirmed that, for many drugs, Americans are being steered to expensive, brand name drugs on TrumpRx despite the availability of identical generics for much lower prices at local pharmacies. Secretary Kennedy appeared to agree that TrumpRx is misleading consumers, saying that “people should be buying the generic” and that, in the future, “we will be directing them to the generic.” “This answer revealed exactly my concern – that TrumpRx is acting as a conduit for Big Pharma to steer consumers to expensive brand name drugs when cheaper generics are available,” wrote Senator Warren. Senator Warren warned that there is currently no language on TrumpRx to “direct [Americans] to the generic” option, as the Secretary promised, and pressed him to fill the gap immediately. Senator Warren further questioned Secretary Kennedy on the Trump Administration’s sweetheart deals with Big Pharma, securing a commitment from Kennedy to make the details of the deals public. “You and I discussed the extent to which President Trump has been swindled by Big Pharma, giving them handouts worth billions of dollars in exchange for what appears to be no meaningful concessions for consumers,” wrote Senator Warren. Kennedy indicated that his team negotiated the dealsand, after pressure from Senator Warren to publicly release the details, confirmed that he is “happy to make the deals available, except for proprietary information and trade secrets.” Senator Warren also asked Secretary Kennedy to explain his claim that “millions” of people are using TrumpRx and requested additional information on the public’s utilization of TrumpRx. Senator Warren seeks written responses from Secretary Kennedy to eight questions: Please provide copies of a
