Overview

  • The Trump administration, supported by RFK Jr., has released over 60,000 pages of documents on Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 assassination, following a January executive order.
  • The files, digitized by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), are now publicly accessible on the National Archives website.
  • The records include FBI memos, internal progress reports, and LAPD interviews with Sirhan Sirhan and eyewitnesses, offering previously inaccessible investigative details.
  • This release is the second tranche, following an initial 10,000-document release in April, with additional records to be disclosed as they are located and processed.
  • While the documents provide new access to historical materials, it remains unclear if they will alter prevailing conclusions about Sirhan Sirhan's role in the assassination.
