The U.S. government has released approximately 10,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, continuing the declassification of documents that had remained classified for decades.
“This release will shine long-awaited light on the truth about the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy,” said Tulsie Gabard, Director of the National Intelligence Service.
Details of the Release:
The newly released documents include about 229 files, now available on the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) website. The publication is part of a broader effort initiated by President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order in January to declassify remaining files related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..
“Nearly 60 years after the tragic assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the American public will have the opportunity to review the federal government’s investigation into the case,” Gabard added.
Historical Context:
The release of these documents marks a significant step in transparency regarding historical events that have shaped U.S. history. The government had previously begun releasing classified files on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, starting in mid-March of 2025.
Next Steps:
This declassification process provides an unprecedented chance for the public to re-examine the investigations and seek new insights into the tragic events that occurred in the 1960s. The American government’s decision to release this documentation is a significant move toward historical clarity and public accountability.
