First 10,000 Pages of RFK Assassination Records Released Under Trump Order

The declassified files, including notes from Sirhan Sirhan, mark the start of a transparency initiative uncovering decades-old investigation materials.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump’s executive order has led to the release of 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
  • Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed the files include a handwritten note from Sirhan Sirhan stating, 'RFK must be disposed of like his brother was.'
  • An additional 50,000 pages of documents were discovered in FBI and CIA storage, with plans for their public release in progress.
  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the senator’s son, praised the initiative as a step toward rebuilding trust in government institutions.
  • The files, digitized for the first time after decades in storage, reveal new details but do not provide evidence contradicting the lone-gunman conclusion.
