In a monumental move for transparency, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made public 10,000 pages of files pertaining to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. This release is just the beginning, with an additional 50,000 pages yet to come.
The announcement, delivered through a press release, comes after uncovering a trove of documents in FBI and CIA warehouses. These files had previously not been turned over to The National Archives. The agencies are diligently working to make these records accessible to the public, continuing to search for any additional files.
Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised President Trump for his bold action and commitment to transparency in releasing these critical documents. This move traces back to Trump’s executive order, signed on January 20, soon after his inauguration, aimed at declassifying files related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The release of these files marks a significant step in President Trump’s promise to restore trust in the Intelligence Community. Unlike the JFK files, which were systematically released, the RFK and MLK files had been languishing, undigitized, for decades. Gabbard’s team has undertaken the task of scanning, declassifying, and making these documents available online.
Today, the American public can explore these RFK assassination files online at The National Archives website. This first batch consists of around 10,000 pages, slightly redacted for privacy reasons, such as Social Security Numbers.
As Gabbard emphasized in an interview with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, there are many questions surrounding the RFK assassination that these documents could help answer. The public release is seen as a pivotal step in unearthing the truth about this historical event.
Additionally, Gabbard revealed that she and her husband had received numerous threats, leading to the arrest of a suspect. The swift action by law enforcement demonstrates a commitment to protecting public figures from threats of violence.
National Archives staff are working tirelessly to ensure the continuation of this initiative. Gabbard’s dedication to transparency and security continues to forge a path towards a more informed public, reinforcing trust in our governmental processes.
