HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is calling out the CIA for its alleged shady activity surrounding his uncle’s assassination records.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been shrouded in so much secrecy that conspiracy theories surrounding the event are plentiful. One of those using all of his might to secure the release of the United States government records is RFK Jr., who is crying foul in a statement to the New York Post, just 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,” Kennedy told the outlet. “I mean, the JFK assassination document act said they had to release all of that stuff.”
The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 scheduled the release of the documents for 2025, and President Donald Trump also signed an executive order days into his second term that called for the “endless delays” of the release to end.
When asked why the CIA would be so resistant to the documents being released, Kennedy didn’t have an answer.
“I don’t know. I mean, obviously, there’s something that they feel like that they don’t want the public to read. It’s very strange.”
He also thanked the Republican lawmakers, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who are joining his fight.
“I’m grateful to them for doing that. I don’t even know if you need Congress, but I’m glad that Congress responded.”
Meanwhile, a CIA spokesperson also made a statement to The Post:
ODNI has acknowledged in writing they made a mistake saying that boxes were seized and then were again mistaken in saying there were ever any boxes either missing or not made available. ODNI has acknowledged all boxes have been made available to them for more than a year.

Sure it’s illegal, but the question is. What is the follow up on this? Have we heard anything from Representative Luna or Burlison since the meeting at the CIA headquarters? https://t.co/kbD3xqnC9a

Now ask yourself why the CIA would do such a thing? Now maybe you understand why people don’t trust the government. When you hide shit from 65 years ago, you know we have had bad actors masquerading as civil servants; and continues today. https://t.co/DBdiN2pN3D
