DOCUMENT DUMP! CIA Releases More Than 1,000 Pages on RFK Assassination: Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 6.12.25

According to a New York Post report, the CIA has released more than 1,000 documents related to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy — including 54 previously classified documents.

From The New York Post:

The files could shed new light on the motivations of Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian-born Jordanian citizen convicted of Kennedy’s murder after the June 5, 1968, shooting — and contain a psychological profile of Sirhan as well as his handwritten notes.

One of the handwritten notes includes the lines “Kennedy must fall” and “tonight, tonight.”

Other records will disclose details about a trip that RFK took with former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to the Soviet Union in 1955, during which the future US attorney general and senator “served the Agency as a voluntary informant.”

A CIA official said that the documents about Kennedy’s journey “exemplifies the depth of his patriotism and commitment to serving his country,” knowing that “the USSR was our top adversary at the time.”

The information on Sirhan covers his family history and international ties but notes that the gunman was never connected to any terrorist groups, the official added.

“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,” said CIA Director John Ratcliffe in a statement.

Ratcliffe shared more details in a post on X.

“Per my press release, these declassified CIA records include fascinating details of Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s deep patriotism and love of country through his work as a voluntary CIA informant during a 1955 visit to the Soviet Union, then America’s top adversary,” the CIA Director posted.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also released a statement on X:

“Today’s release is another important step in fulfilling President Trump’s maximum transparency pledge to rebuild trust in the Intelligence Community.

Thank you to those at the CIA, ODNI, and NARA who worked hard to locate, review, and digitize these documents, many of which have never been released publicly before.”
