The news, announced on a Friday, marked a significant occasion nearly six decades after Senator Kennedy’s unfortunate demise. Gabbard acknowledged that the release of these classified documents into public light wouldn’t have been possible without President Trump’s crucial role in facilitating the process.

In a special statement that surrounded this historic event, Gabbard demonstrated gratitude to the leadership of President Trump. She expressed how her team was proud to spearhead this declassification initiative as this was an avenue for truths that had been hidden for years to be finally illuminated. Furthermore, she solemnly recognized the assistance of Kennedy’s family in this journey, specifically acknowledging Bobby Kennedy.

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. mutually expressed in the joint statement that revealing the classified files was imperative towards reinforcing the faith of the people in the United States Government. Closeness to the subject notwithstanding, Kennedy Jr. lauded President Trump’s valor and dedication to maintain transparency.

A refreshing sense of honesty and commitment echoed through Gabbard’s words, reinforcing the fact that these untamed efforts of hers were only made possible by the steadfast resolve to unveil the truth. She thanked President Trump for his influential role and the push he provided in order to ensure the documents were declassified and revealed to the public.

Another strong voice supporting the file release was that of the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She welcomed the action as a fulfillment of previously made promises, publicly acknowledging the delivery on the declaration of the RFK file disclosure on a Friday morning.

In an instance of open discussion on ‘FOX and Friends,’ Gabbard highlighted the release of approximately 10,000 pages of newly digitized, never-before-seen files. The files encompassed official investigation documents into the assassination, raising myriad questions and theories along with providing insightful conversations at the State Department level.

Gabbard underscored the enormous significance of this event, considering it had been around 60 years since Senator Kennedy’s cruel assassination. She expressed profound significance to the uncovering of these documents and staunchly stated that this was only the beginning of more disclosures.

Addressing recent discoveries, Gabbard drew attention to the fact that a staggering 50,000 additional pages dedicated singularly to the assassination of Senator Kennedy had been identified. She added that more than 100 personnel at the National Archives had been tirelessly scanning through these documents in anticipation of a subsequent release.

A White House spokesperson additionally highlighted the historical importance of these files, which have lied dormant away from public scrutiny until this point. The spokesperson also declared unequivocally that over 10,000 pages of the RFK files have been released by President Trump, promising more to come.

In a previous Cabinet meeting at the White House on April 10, where early discussions surrounding this monumental file release took place, Gabbard expressed that a team of over 100 individuals had been relentlessly scanning the pile of paper works linked to the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and RFK. She conveyed to the President that these documents had been tucked away in storage for decades, unseen and untouched.

Gabbard informed President Trump that the documents are being meticulously scanned and prepared for release soon. The meeting was also attended by Kennedy, underlining its critical importance. She mentioned during the conversation that the documents were slated to be unveiled in due course.

The release of the RFK files is an upshot of President Trump’s executive order for declassification that came into effect shortly after he commenced his second term as president. This order was aimed at specifically declassifying the files on the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert, and the revered civil rights icon, King.

In aligning with his campaign promises, Trump stated during a rally, that all JFK assassination-related files would be declassified and revealed to the public once he was re-elected to office. His assertion was clear, echoing the sentiment that it was time for the American people to know the truth, nearly six decades after these tragic events transpired.

The executive order also specified that the Director of National Intelligence and other official heads were expected to submit their proposed plans for the release of the RFK and MLK files by March 9. These plans were due to be submitted following a detailed review and approval process.

Prior to this, the Director of National Intelligence along with the Attorney General was handed a February 7 deadline for creating and submitting release plans for JFK files. The sequential deadlines exhibit the detailed planning, dedication, and strategic approach taken to ensure these historic documents were released to the public.
