1 week ago US releases thousands of files related to Robert F Kennedy assassination

Release of files, ordered by Trump, includes notes from killer, who said presidential candidate ‘must be disposed of’About 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Robert F Kennedy, including handwritten notes by the assassin, who said the US senator and Democratic presidential candidate “must be disposed of” and acknowledged an obsession with killing him.The release continued the disclosure of national secrets ordered by Donald Trump after he began his second presidency in January.
