RFK assassination files being released by Trump administration
CBSN
Washington — The Trump administration said Friday that it has started releasing the first tranche of records on Democratic Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 assassination, which will contain roughly 10,000 pages of previously classified records.
The disclosure — ordered by President Trump within days of taking office and backed by the senator's son, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — could reignite speculation about the decades-old killing, as the younger Kennedy insists his father's convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, might be innocent.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the release, which began Friday, comes after an effort done in conjunction with the National Archives and other agency officials to scan and upload more than 10,000 pages, which will be available for the American people to view online "to fulfill President Trump's maximum transparency promise."
