The Donald Trump administration on Friday released approximately 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of former Senator Robert Francis Kennedy. The release continues the disclosure of national secrets ordered by the President.
The US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that the RFK files’ release will “shine a long-overdue light on the truth,” an AP report said.
“Nearly 60 years after the tragic assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the American people will, for the first time, have the opportunity to review the federal government’s investigation thanks to the leadership of President Trump,” Gabbard was quoted as saying in the report.
The US National Archives and Records Administration posted roughly 229 files containing the pages on its website.
In an interview with FoxNews, Gabbard said, “What we have just released here today is 10,000 pages that have been sitting in boxes within the National Archives”.
“This came about because President Trump promised the American people that his administration would be one of maximum transparency,” she added.
