President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday released more than 10,000 pages of files related to the 1968 assassination of former Senator Robert F. Kennedy, following through on an executive order aimed at declassifying documents over the killings of high-profile Americans.

Kennedy’s son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is Trump’s health secretary, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in a statement that files that had been in storage at the National Archives had been manually scanned and uploaded at archives.gov/rfk.
