US begins declassifying 10,000 pages on Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination

On April 18, US authorities began the public release of over 10,000 pages from the investigation into the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the younger brother of former President John F. Kennedy. These newly declassified documents are now available on the official website of the US National Archives.

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, commented on the release, expressing that nearly 60 years after the tragic assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, the American public would finally be able to review the findings from the federal investigation. She credited President Donald Trump for his commitment to transparency and his role in making this possible. "Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and his push for maximum transparency, the American people can now access the results of this investigation," Gabbard wrote on the social media platform X after the archives were made public.

In a joint statement, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late senator and current US Secretary of Health and Human Services, alongside Gabbard, explained that the documents, which had been stored in the National Archives for decades, were manually scanned and uploaded to the website. They noted that the files were published with minimal redactions to protect privacy, including the removal of Social Security numbers and taxpayer identification numbers.

"This release is a vital step toward restoring the public's trust in the US government," stated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He also expressed gratitude to President Trump for his courage and unwavering dedication to transparency.

Furthermore, Gabbard revealed that during the process of reviewing the documents, an additional 50,000 pages were uncovered, which are still being prepared for publication. She added that the search for more related documents will continue as authorities aim to further shed light on the events surrounding Robert Kennedy's assassination.
