CIA releases 54 declassified documents on RFK assassination

The CIA has declassified new documents related to Robert F. Kennedy's assassination in 1968. This release was prompted by an executive order from President Trump. The documents include 54 new files, totaling 1,450 pages, which feature intelligence reports, news articles, and correspondence with other agencies.

One document reveals that Kennedy shared his experiences in the Soviet Union with the CIA. It also highlights efforts by CIA officers to manage public perception post-assassination. Some filings remain heavily redacted, particularly regarding Sirhan Sirhan's mental evaluations. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised the transparency of the document release.
