In a long-awaited move, the U.S. government has finally released a trove of shocking documents related to the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, shedding new light on one of America’s most tragic moments.

This massive document release wouldn’t have been possible without strong leadership supporting transparency in revealing our past truths.
The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration released around 10,000 pages detailing the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, a figure many remembered for his commitment to change and justice.
Included in these files are previously non-digitized records stored for decades in government facilities.
This document release is part of an ongoing push for openness in matters concerning high-profile assassinations, led by President Trump.
This effort follows the recent unsealing of files related to the 1963 assassination of JFK, RFK’s brother.
The files include Sirhan Sirhan’s chilling handwritten notes expressing his clear intent to commit the murder, drawing parallels to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Speaking about the release, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated, “Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government.”
“Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., cited by AP News.
The importance of transparency cannot be overstated, especially in such pivotal historical moments.
RFK Jr.’s remarks about trust resonate deeply with many who feel that government transparency is crucial.
Sirhan’s conviction for first-degree murder and life sentence adds layers of complexity to the case.
Despite his conviction, Sirhan’s lawyers have pushed for his release, arguing he poses no threat.
Still, California Governor Gavin Newsom rejected the parole decision, focusing on Sirhan’s lack of understanding of his catastrophic actions.
Sirhan previously told a garbage collector about his assassination plan after the death of Martin Luther King Jr.
The newly released records contain interviews describing Sirhan as having strong political beliefs, though he was simultaneously seen as friendly and easily influenced.
Some documents remain redacted, leaving questions about what information is still hidden.
The unearthing of these files, long overdue in many views, is central to providing closure and ensuring that the American people have access to historical truths.
“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,” said Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, emphasizing the long-overdue nature of this transparency.
The documents not only show the severe consequences of political extremism but also mark a step toward understanding and healing.
