Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took aim at the CIA this week, blasting the agency for reportedly keeping a tranche of his uncle’s assassination records under wraps for a “sinister” reason he could neither identify nor justify — but later insisted he didn’t believe the claims.
The Health and Human Services secretary spoke to The Post days after the CIA seized boxes of secret JFK documents from the office of outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, prompting furious outcry from influential House Republicans.
“This is yet another inexplicable move by the CIA that it’s hard to put a face on it that’s not sinister – because it’s illegal,” RFK told The Post in Iowa where he was promoting Make America Healthy Again legislation.
“I mean, the JFK assassination document act said they had to release all of that stuff,” he continued, referencing the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which set a final records release date of 2025. President Trump signed an executive order days after retaking office calling for an end to the “endless delays” in the release.
