He shared\u200d a childhood photo with JFK and expressed \u200bhis belief that the government\u2063 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rebekah-koffler-americas-spy-agencies-failed-to-protect-us-from-chinas-bio-warfare-program\/\" title=\"Rebekah Koffler: America\u2019s Spy Agencies Failed To Protect Us From China\u2019s Bio-Warfare Program\">withholding vital information<\/a> by not releasing \u200ball related documents. While millions of pages have\u2063 been declassified since 2017, around 500 pages remain sealed. Kennedy, who \u2063has long accused the federal government of involvement in\u200d the assassination, has consistently urged for the \u200cfull disclosure of documents.

The federal government has released millions of pages of documents surrounding the investigation into the assassination as mandated in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are approximately 500 pages of documents that have been completely withheld.<\/p>\n<p>During his reelection campaign, President-elect Donald Trump promised to release the remaining documents. He previously made this promise back in 2017, but he walked it back after hearing the appeals from the FBI and CIA that declassifying some records posed a national security risk.<\/p>\n<p>With Kennedy as Trump&rsquo;s nominee for health and human services secretary, the pair have grown closer &mdash; possibly pushing Trump to follow through with his promise to release the remaining documents.<\/p>\n<p>The Warren Commission, appointed by President Lyndon Johnson a year after the assassination, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.<\/p>\n<p>However, conspiracy theories have long been entertained that there was another person involved, that the CIA was behind the 35th president&rsquo;s death, and countless other variations.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy himself is skeptical of the Warren Commission&rsquo;s findings and has said the CIA was involved.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder,&rdquo; Kennedy said in an interview last year with John Catsimatidis on New York City radio station WABC 770. &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy suggested that the CIA was motivated to kill his uncle because he refused to engage in war with Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He refused,&rdquo; Kennedy said. &ldquo;He said that the job of the American presidency is to keep the nation out of war.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy recounted that his father, former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, called the CIA to question whether it was behind his brother&rsquo;s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1889659\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1889659\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RFK Jr. criticizes &#8216;secrecy&#8217; on JFK assassination anniversary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2542,"featured_media":2372270,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RFK-JR.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4143,36065,32458,14672,32076],"class_list":["post-2372269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-anniversary","tag-jfk-assassination","tag-rfk-jr","tag-secrecy","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RFK-JR.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2372269"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2372273,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372269\/revisions\/2372273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2372270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2372269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2372269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2372269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
