Speaking for the first time about the meeting that led to Dr. Monarez’s dismissal, Mr. Kennedy told senators that he ousted her because she responded “no” when he asked her whether she was “a trustworthy person.”

In an opinion article published early Thursday in The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Monarez, an infectious disease researcher, accused the secretary of “a deliberate effort to weaken America’s public-health system and vaccine protections.” After the hearing, her lawyers called Mr. Kennedy’s claims “false and, at times, patently ridiculous.”

The removal of Dr. Monarez, just one month after she was confirmed by the Senate, has irked senators of both parties, who say it negates their own role in the confirmation process. Among them is Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota and the majority leader.
