US President Donald Trump’s government has released more than 10,000 pages of files related to the murder of former Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, following an executive decree aimed at declassifying the US.

The envelopes are published with “minimal corrections for privacy reasons,” they said.

“The publication of Robert F. Kennedy’s documents is an indispensable step towards restoring confidence in the US government,” Robert Kennedy’s statement said. “I congratulate President Trump on his courage and his commitment to transparency.”

Gampard said the documents investigation has brought to light an additional 50,000 pages prepared for publication. These files are also prepared for publication, Gabard said, adding that officials will continue to look for other documents that the government may have.

Trump is trying to keep his promises of finding and disclosing files on the deaths of Kennedy, his brother, former President John F. Kennedy, and political rights leader Martin Luther King Junior.

In March, the government released about 80,000 pages of files about the murder of the former president, who, he said, were previously confidential.

Trump had promised to release the documents during his first term, but retreated to the requests of the secret services to keep much of the secrecy. The president reiterated his promise during the 2024 election campaign, saying last year he wanted to publicize the records and implying that the CIA was the one that delayed their publication.

In January, after taking over his duties, he signed a order to declassify documents on the two Kennedy brothers and King.

Robert F. Kennedy was a US senator from New York and a candidate for the Democratic presidential anointing in 1968, when he was shot and killed in Los Angeles.
