Supporters of former President Donald Trump are pumping money into Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, according to a new report.

Steve and Tracy Slepcevic are the subject of an in-depth Mother Jones investigation into the gray political area between Kennedy and Trump where anti-vaccination, QAnon followers and Christian nationalists lurk.

According to the report, Kennedy attends Slepcevic-hosted fundraisers where tickets costs upwards of $2,700 and is selling signed copies of Tracy’s book — in which she claims autism can be cured — for $150.

But the couple also have strong ties to Trump, Mother Jones reports.

Among those who have promoted Slepcevic’s book are Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser who faced charges of foreign lobbying crimes before receiving a pardon from the former president, and Stew Peters, whose pro-Nazi Rumble content has been monetized by Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

“Tracy is a regular on the far-right conspiracy circuit,” the report notes. “In November 2022, she joined the ReAwaken America tour as a speaker. This was a traveling road show that fused Christian nationalism, QAnonism, and MAGAism.”

Steve Slepcevic, according to the report, appears to have attended Trump’s rally on Jan. 6, 2021 and said at a recent conference he’s worked with Turning Point USA, the conservative group led by Trump champion Charlie Kirk.

Neither Steve nor Tracy Slepcevic responded to Mother Jones’ multiple requests for comment.

Mother Jones asked the Kennedy campaign, among other questions, “how does the campaign feel about their ties to pro-Trump extremists?”

The campaign replied: “Your request for comment is under consideration and your deadline is noted. If the campaign has a response, we will let you know.”
