Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suggested Thursday that he tagged-teamed with Education Secretary Linda McMahon to help his niece, Zoe Hines, secure a gig as a WWE wrestler.
“Lina has become a very, very close friend and my neice, Zoe Hines, recently signed a contract with WWE [World Wrestling Entertainment] – which Linda has a lot to do – to become a wrestler,” Kennedy said at an event promoting nutrition training for future doctors.
Kennedy, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, then quipped, “And I’m really looking forward to knowing so many good doctors who can treat her after.”
Zoe, a former Boston College softball player, is the daughter of Rebecca Hines and Laurent Boye. Rebecca is the sister of RFK Jr.’s actress wife, Cheryl Hines.
Last August, Zoe shared on her Instagram account that she had participated in a WWE tryout in New Jersey.
“Grateful for the opportunity, the experience, and the people,” she wrote in a post. “Honored to represent WWE at the 2025 SummerSlam Tryout.”
McMahon co-founded the iconic wrestling promotion with her husband, Vince McMahon, in 1980.
She served as CEO of WWE until 2009.
McMahon isn’t the only one with wrestling ties working in the Trump administration.
