The CIA has declassified over a thousand pages of documents related to the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, shedding new light on one of the most scrutinized political killings in American history.
The newly released files include internal memos, field reports, and intelligence assessments detailing the agency’s activities before and after the assassination. Among the documents are references to international surveillance, interviews with key figures, and analysis of Sirhan Sirhan, the man convicted of killing Kennedy.
While the files do not present evidence contradicting the official narrative, they offer a deeper look at the extent of the CIA’s interest in the case and the broader geopolitical context at the time. Researchers and historians are now poring over the material to identify any overlooked insights or connections.
The release comes amid growing public pressure for transparency surrounding high-profile assassinations, and is part of a broader effort to declassify Cold War-era intelligence archives.
