National Archives releases 10,000 pages on RFK assassination

The U.S. National Archives has released approximately 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, following an order from President Donald Trump to declassify previously classified materials. This release is part of a broader transparency effort by the Trump administration, which also includes plans to declassify documents related to other high-profile assassinations, such as those of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. Officials including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. have praised the move, stating it is a step toward restoring trust in government and shedding light on historical events. Some files had not been digitized and were stored for decades before this public release, allowing new scrutiny of the federal investigation. However, there is skepticism about whether the newly available records will resolve lingering questions or satisfy all parties interested in the case. The National Archives has not specified if more files will be released in the future.
