Will America have to wait another 60 years for the truth about the Democrats? Nearly 1,500 pages of previously classified documents pertaining to the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy were made public by the CIA. According to documents, following his 1955 visit to the Soviet Union, Kennedy voluntarily gave the CIA information. As part of his larger pledge to increase government transparency, President Trump ordered the release.
Kennedy’s Secret CIA Connections Exposed
The Central Intelligence Agency has released approximately 1,500 pages of previously classified documents related to Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 assassination, revealing surprising connections between the Kennedy family and American intelligence operations. Among the most startling revelations is that Robert Kennedy voluntarily served as an informant to the CIA after returning from a tour of the Soviet Union in 1955, long before his brother John F. Kennedy became president.
The release includes 54 documents detailing the CIA’s investigation into Kennedy’s assassination, potential foreign ties of his killer Sirhan Sirhan, and information related to other high-profile assassinations of the era. Sirhan, who shot Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, continues to serve a life sentence for the murder. Notably, a CIA memo included in the release indicated the agency had no information on Sirhan in their records prior to the assassination, contradicting some conspiracy theories about potential intelligence connections.

Broader Implications for American History
The documents extend beyond the RFK assassination, touching on other pivotal moments in American history, including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and the attempted assassination of presidential candidate George Wallace. One internal memo detailed a failed CIA plot to poison Cuban leader Fidel Castro using a Mafia figure operating in Las Vegas, while another reported on a 1973 Georgetown University conference focused on assassination conspiracy theories that had gained traction among the American public.
“Today’s release delivers on President Trump’s commitment to maximum transparency, enabling the CIA to shine light on information that serves the public interest.” CIA Director John Ratcliffe
The document release was ordered by President Trump as part of a broader initiative to declassify assassination-related materials. The CIA employed artificial intelligence technology to scan its archives for declassifiable documents pertaining to Kennedy’s assassination, resulting in over 10,000 pages of materials being released in April alone. This technological approach represents a new frontier in government transparency efforts, allowing for more efficient processing of classified historical documents.

Kennedy Family Response and Historical Context
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the slain senator and current U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, expressed approval of the document release. The newly available files highlight Robert Kennedy’s detailed observations of Soviet life and industry during his 1955 visit, which he subsequently shared with CIA officials. This practice was reportedly part of a broader intelligence-gathering strategy where the agency collected observations from Americans who had visited the USSR during the height of the Cold War.
A particularly notable inclusion in the release is a 1975 memo from then-CIA Director William Colby explicitly denying CIA involvement in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. The document addresses persistent rumors that Colby stated had “crept up every so often” regarding potential agency involvement in the president’s death. All documents from this declassification are now available to the public online through the CIA’s website and the National Archives, providing historians and researchers unprecedented access to information about this tumultuous period in American history.
