Overview

  • The U.S. National Archives published over 10,000 pages of records related to Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 assassination, following a January executive order by President Donald Trump.
  • The files include a handwritten note by convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan stating, 'RFK must be disposed of like his brother,' fueling ongoing conspiracy theories.
  • An additional 50,000 pages of RFK-related documents were discovered in FBI and CIA warehouses and are being prepared for future release.
  • Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard emphasized the effort's goal of transparency, noting the files had been stored for decades without digitization.
  • Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the senator's son, praised the release as a step toward restoring public trust in government.
