The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released 54 declassified files pertaining to Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination.
CIA director John Ratcliffe released an additional 1,450 pages of material in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order issued on January 23.
“Today’s release delivers on President Trump’s commitment to maximum transparency, enabling the CIA to shine light on information that serves the public interest,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe stated in a press release. “I am proud to share our work on this incredibly important topic with the American people.”
The release stems from a coordinated initiative launched under President Trump’s direction and overseen by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard with close collaboration between the CIA, Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Archives.
“Today’s release is another important step in fulfilling President Trump’s commitment to maximum transparency. Thank you to those at the CIA, ODNI, and NARA who worked hard to locate, review, and digitize these documents, many of which have never been released publicly before,” Gabbard said in the press release. “We will continue coordinating with our partners across the Intelligence Community to fulfill President Trump’s promise of maximum transparency.”
“Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government,” U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr stated in the release. “I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency. I’m grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe for their dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents.”
