Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vaccine skeptic running for president as an independent candidate, vowed to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Justice Department’s effort to prosecute those who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, if he is elected, again downplaying the severity of the attack on the Capitol.

“I am concerned about the possibility that political objectives motivated the vigor of the prosecution of the J6 defendants, their long sentences and their harsh treatment,” Mr. Kennedy wrote in a statement a day after his campaign retracted a message of sympathy for the rioters.
