In the United States, the Trump government released about 10,000 pages of records about the murder of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
The disclosure of the records is part of President Donald Trump’s initiative to allow the public to examine a long-secret records for a series of high profile murders in the 1960s-including those of former President John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK).
Trump signed a decree determining the disclosure of the archives regarding these murders shortly after taking office. Thousands of pages related to the murder of JFK were released in March.
National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard said in a statement that, unlike JFK’s murder archives, RFK and MLK records were not scanned. Gabbard said he had led a task force to assist in digitizing.
It is not immediately clear which new information has arisen from the disclosure.
The murder of Robert F. Kennedy

He was 42 years old.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., current Secretary of Health and Human Services, who was 14 when his father was murdered, said in a statement today that “raising the veil about RFK documents is a necessary step to restore confidence in the US government.”
