Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made shocking claims about who really killed his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and his father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy. He says the CIA was involved in both assassinations. These bombshell accusations come as President Trump releases long-secret files about JFK’s death, promising to reveal the truth.
Kennedy Jr. says the CIA murdered JFK in 1963 because the president refused to escalate the Vietnam War. He claims evidence paints a clear picture of CIA involvement and a cover-up. Earlier this year, Kennedy pushed for his daughter-in-law, a former CIA officer, to become deputy director of the agency. Critics say he wanted her to dig up hidden files about his uncle’s death.
The Kennedy family’s tragedies didn’t end with JFK. Five years later, Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in Los Angeles after winning the California primary. His son insists the CIA might have played a role there too, calling the official story about a lone gunman “shoddy.” Conspiracy theories about a second shooter and CIA mind-control programs have swirled for decades.
President Trump has made transparency a priority, releasing classified JFK files and vowing to declassify records about RFK and MLK’s murders. At a signing ceremony, Trump handed the pen to Kennedy Jr., now his Health Secretary. The move signals Trump’s support for exposing what he calls “deep state” secrets.
Kennedy’s influence in the Trump White House is growing. His appointment to a key cabinet role shows Trump rewards allies who challenge the establishment. Critics worry Kennedy’s conspiracy theories could undermine public trust, but supporters praise him for daring to ask hard questions about powerful institutions.
The media often dismisses Kennedy’s claims, but he argues outlets like NPR are infiltrated by CIA operatives. He points to “Operation Mockingbird,” an alleged Cold War program where spies recruited journalists. While historians say the program targeted foreign audiences, Kennedy warns Americans are still being manipulated by secretive government forces.
Many Americans share Kennedy’s distrust. Polls show most people believe JFK’s killing was a conspiracy, not a lone act. The newly released files haven’t shown a “smoking gun,” but Trump vows to keep digging. For his part, Kennedy says the full truth will expose decades of corruption and lies.
The fight over these secrets isn’t just about history—it’s about holding powerful agencies accountable. As Trump and Kennedy push for openness, they’re challenging a system that prefers shadows. Their efforts remind us that vigilance is the price of liberty, and the truth can’t stay buried forever.
