I extend my deepest thanks for Bobby Kennedy and the support of their families.”

Gabbard also said that “only the other day, we discovered around 50,000 additional pages only around the murder of Senator Kennedy,” saying that he had “about 100 people in the national archives” scanning the documents in advance of a second launch.
“Almost six decades have passed since the tragic murder of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and these historical archives have been hidden from the American people all this time, until now,” said a White House spokesman for Fox News Digital. “On behalf of the maximum transparency, President Trump has published more than 10,000 pages of the RFK archives with more to come. He has never led a more transparent president in the history of our country than President Donald J. Trump. Another fact and promise.”
