Over 10,000 pages of previously classified documents were uploaded to the National Archives on Friday morning.
“In the course of searching FBI and CIA warehouses for records not previously turned over to The National Archives, an additional 50,000 pages of RFK assassination files were discovered,” the press released added.
RFK was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian refugee, Reuters reported.
The former senator was shot soon after he won the 1968 California Democratic presidential primary, and he died the following day, the outlet said.
“Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government,” Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary and RFK’s son, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., stated in the press release. “I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency. I’m grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard for her dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents.”
