Kennedy Jr., who has claimed for years that his father&#8217;s convicted killer <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/robert-f-kennedy-children-on-parole-for-assassin-sirhan-sirhan\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sirhan Sirhan<\/a><\/span> might be innocent.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/index.php\/newsroom\/press-releases\/press-releases-2025\/4073-pr-11-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Office of the Director of National Intelligence<\/a> said the documents &#8220;have been sitting in various storage facilities across the federal government for decades and had never been digitized or accessible to the public before.&#8221; They were digitized by ODNI \u2014 which is led by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard \u2014 and posted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/research\/rfk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Archives website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth,&#8221; Gabbard said in a post on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has also ordered the release of documents on President John F. Kennedy&#8217;s 1963 assassination and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s 1968 killing. Some <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-jfk-assassination-files-released-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">John F. Kennedy files<\/a><\/span> were released in March, but the King documents have not been released.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s in the RFK files \u2014 and will we learn anything new?<\/h2>\n<p>ODNI said the documents posted Wednesday include &#8220;never-before-seen details about the FBI&#8217;s investigation into the assassination of RFK \u2014 including the discussion of potential leads by various FBI offices, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, and more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The records also include recordings of Los Angeles police interviews with Sirhan and eyewitnesses to the 1968 assassination, according to ODNI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s unclear whether the files will reveal new information about Robert F. Kennedy&#8217;s killing.<\/p>\n<p>The senator&#8217;s 1968 assassination was primarily investigated and prosecuted by authorities in Los Angeles. Documents from the local investigation \u2014 along with many records from a separate FBI probe \u2014 have been publicly available in California&#8217;s state archives <a href=\"https:\/\/archives.cdn.sos.ca.gov\/collections\/rfk\/guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">since the late 1980s<\/a>. ODNI said some of the records that were published Wednesday had previously been handed over to the Los Angeles Police Department.<\/p>\n<h2>What did last month&#8217;s RFK files say?<\/h2>\n<p>The government released a trove of 10,000 records on Robert F. Kennedy last month. A <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rfk-assassination-files-release-trump-administration\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News review<\/a><\/span> found the documents included handwritten notes from Sirhan \u2014 including ones in which Sirhan wrote &#8220;RFK must be disposed of like his brother was&#8221; \u2014 as well as FBI memos on Sirhan, crime scene and autopsy photos, witness interviews and other materials.<\/p>\n<p>A few of those records make reference to common conspiracy theories about the assassination, including mentions of witnesses seeing a woman in a polka-dot dress or somebody shouting &#8220;we shot him.&#8221; Other witnesses said they didn&#8217;t see anybody matching that description.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the details in those files were already publicly known.<\/p>\n<h2>Who killed RFK \u2014 and what has RFK Jr. said?<\/h2>\n<p>Sirhan was convicted of killing Robert F. Kennedy \u2014 then a Democratic presidential primary candidate \u2014 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He was arrested shortly after the shooting and he was 24 years old at the time. Sirhan has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1.13.22-Sirhan-Reverse-Decision.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">admitted<\/a> to killing the senator at various points, sometimes claiming it was due to the senator&#8217;s support for Israel, though at other times, Sirhan has said he is innocent or said he couldn&#8217;t remember the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Sirhan has been incarcerated in California for decades, and multiple requests for parole have been unsuccessful. The state&#8217;s parole board <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rfk-assassin-sirhan-sirhan-recommended-parole\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">endorsed his 2021 bid for parole<\/a><\/span>, but California&#8217;s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/sirhan-sirhan-parole-california-governor-rejects-releasing-robert-f-kennedy-assassin\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">rejected the request<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The case has drawn public fascination for decades, with some observers\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/robert-kennedy-jr-seeks-investigation-father-assassination-sirhan-sirhan\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">claiming<\/a><\/span> Sirhan didn&#8217;t fire the fatal shots or acted as part of a wider conspiracy. They often cite conflicting eyewitness testimonies or the alleged presence of extra bullets \u2014 though many others have backed the view that Sirhan acted alone.<\/p>\n<p>One of the skeptics is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was 14 years old when his father was assassinated. He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/retropolis\/wp\/2018\/05\/26\/who-killed-bobby-kennedy-his-son-rfk-jr-doesnt-believe-it-was-sirhan-sirhan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">argued<\/a> Sirhan wasn&#8217;t responsible for the killing, and met with him in prison before backing his 2021 request for parole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, other members of the Kennedy family have\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/robert-f-kennedy-children-on-parole-for-assassin-sirhan-sirhan\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">staunchly opposed<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Sirhan&#8217;s release from prison.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/joe-walsh\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Joe  Walsh<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Joe Walsh is a senior editor for digital politics at CBS News.
