On January 23, 2025, an undercover operation by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) revealed startling insights into the inner workings of the federal bureaucracy. Byron Cohen, a White House advisor at the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy, was caught on hidden camera discussing how entrenched bureaucratic interests could potentially undermine Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s (RFK Jr.) appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Cohen, who has been a holdover from the Biden Administration, candidly admitted the existence of the so-called “deep state.” He explained how the bureaucracy operates with its own agenda, often hindering or blocking initiatives from external appointees like RFK Jr. “People joke about the ‘deep state,’ but to some degree, it’s real,” Cohen stated.
The advisor expressed strong disapproval of RFK Jr.’s potential appointment, particularly due to Kennedy’s controversial views on vaccines. Cohen predicted that Kennedy would face significant resistance from the bureaucracy, which he believes will prioritize its own interests over Kennedy’s agenda. “RFK Jr. is a very bad pick for HHS… it’s probably a good chance that the bureaucracy just crushes him,” Cohen remarked.
Cohen elaborated on the tactics that could be used to obstruct Kennedy’s efforts, such as creating a “fake commission” to make him believe progress is being made when it is not. This revelation raises concerns about the transparency and accountability of the federal bureaucracy, suggesting that unelected officials may have undue influence over policy implementation.
