FDA chief counsel who defended abortion pill under Biden resigns 2 days into job

by March 13, 2025
written by March 13, 2025

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) top lawyer, who was appointed to the position just this week, has resigned, according to a Thursday morning post on X.

‘Hilary K. Perkins has resigned from her position as Chief Counsel of FDA, effectively immediately,’ the FDA’s official X account posted.  

Perkins – a former assistant director under Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) in the consumer protection agency – was selected on Tuesday by acting general Sean Keveney in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a ‘reorganization’ effort by the department, according to an HHS news release.

She previously defended abortion pill access in a high-profile case under Biden’s DOJ, and HHS officials were reportedly unhappy with the decision to appoint Perkins but were overruled by White House officials, according to a report from Axios this week.

‘We’ve been able to recruit higher quality personnel to HHS than in any time in its history,’ HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said in a statement Tuesday at the announcement of Perkins’ assignment on Tuesday. ‘These are individuals who will return the agency to gold-standard science, evidence-based medicine, and recalibrate its trajectory toward public health rather than industry profiteering.’

Fox News Digital has reached out to the HHS and FDA for comment.
