RFK Jr. testifies about residence in lawsuit seeking to keep him off New York presidential ballot

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endured a sometimes heated volley of questions Tuesday from a lawyer challenging his claim that he lives in New York and seeking to keep the independent candidate off the state’s presidential ballot.

Kennedy testified that his address is in the well-to-do New York City suburb of Katonah, and he has said he only moved to California temporarily in 2014 to be with his wife, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actor Cheryl Hines. The suit filed on behalf of several voters seeks to invalidate his New York ballot petition.

In one tense exchange in the Albany courtroom, voters’ attorney Keith Corbett produced a July 2 affirmation from Kennedy saying his driver’s license was registered to the Katonah address. But Corbett said government documents show the registration did not list that address until the next day.

“You are familiar with the term ‘perjury’?” Corbett asked.

“Of course I am,” Kennedy replied, adding that his assistant handled the paperwork.

“I will certainly correct this. I was wrong by 24 hours,” Kennedy said.

“I have lived in New York for 50 years,” he added.
