Here’s what CBS:

The Trump administration said Friday that it has started releasing the first tranche of records on Democratic Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 assassination, which will contain roughly 10,000 pages of previously classified records.

The disclosure — ordered by President Trump within days of taking office and backed by the senator’s son, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — could reignite speculation about the decades-old killing, as the younger Kennedy insists his father’s convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, might be innocent.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the release, which began Friday, comes after an effort done in conjunction with the National Archives and other agency officials to scan and upload more than 10,000 pages, which will be available for the American people to view online “to fulfill President Trump’s maximum transparency promise.”

The records will be published with limited redactions for privacy reasons, such as to shield Social Security numbers, she said.

“Nearly 60 years after the tragic assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the American people will, for the first time, have the opportunity to review the federal government’s investigation thanks to the leadership of President Trump,” Gabbard said in a statement. “My team is honored that the President entrusted us to lead the declassification efforts and to shine a long-overdue light on the truth. I extend my deepest thanks for Bobby Kennedy and his families’ support.”

Per The Daily Caller:

RFK was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian refugee, Reuters reported.

The former senator was shot soon after he won the 1968 California Democratic presidential primary, and he died the following day, the outlet said.

“Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government,” Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary and RFK’s son, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., stated in the press release. “I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency. I’m grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard for her dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents.”
