More than 10,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassinated of Robert F. Kennedy have been released.
The trove of files about the 1968 assassination, published at President Trump’s directive, were previously sitting in storage at The National Archives, according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
“Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government,” said the late senator’s son, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
“I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency. I’m grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard for her dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents.”
The New York Senator was shot dead by assassin Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
