Trump drops 10,000 pages of RFK assassination files, exposing puzzling early death reports



Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday that the Trump administration had released 10,000 new pages regarding the 1968 assassination of Democratic Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (N.Y.).

The long-since classified investigation documents were released as part of President Donald Trump's January 23 executive order directing the declassification of files on the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy, and Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.

'In my view, these documents provide the background to more questions than answers.'

"The Executive Order establishes the policy that, more than 50 years after these assassinations, the victims' families and the American people deserve the truth," read a White House fact sheet on the action.

During an April 10 Cabinet meeting, Gabbard told Trump she had "over 100 people working around the clock" scanning the relevant files.

"These have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades. They have never been scanned or seen before," she said.

Trump asked Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. how he felt about the news that the files on his father and uncle would be released in the coming days.

Kennedy responded, "I'm very gratified."

"I'm very grateful to you, Mr. President," he added.

On Friday morning, Gabbard told Fox News that the first batch of newly released files related to the government's investigation and "questions and theories that were being posed" concerning Sen. Kennedy's assassination.

The documents revealed that State Department cables were reporting on Kennedy’s death before it actually occurred.

Gabbard explained that the cables “showed different countries were sending messages to each other around Senator Kennedy’s assassination, saying that he had been assassinated, but that was before he was actually killed.”

"In my view, these documents provide the background to more questions than answers," Gabbard added.

"We're obviously not stopping here," she said. "We sent people out to hunt through different warehouses at the FBI and CIA, knowing there are likely other documents that have not yet been turned over to National Archives."

Gabbard noted that the second release would include more than 50,000 additional pages on the senator's assassination.

Kennedy Jr. responded to the document release, stating, "Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government."

"I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency," he added. "I'm grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard for her dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents."

A White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "Nearly six decades have passed since the tragic assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and these historic files have been hidden from the American people all this time — until now."

"In the name of maximum transparency, President Trump has released over 10,000 pages of the RFK files with more to come," the spokesperson continued. "There has never been a more transparent president in the history of our country than President Donald J. Trump. Another promise made and promise kept."

Meet the new task force that aims to EXPOSE the government’s darkest secrets



Americans are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for President Trump’s executive order declassifying the JFK, RFK, and MLK files to come full circle. After decades of secrets, the truth about these assassinations is supposedly right around the corner.

However, there’s been no shortage of pushback on this executive order. It’s clear that not everyone is in favor of the truth getting out.

Glenn Beck recently met with Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R), who has been tapped to lead the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets.

This task force, she says, will make sure that the declassification President Trump ordered actually comes to fruition and that Americans get the full truth.

“Just because President Trump signed an executive order doesn't mean that bureaucrats in these intelligence agencies won't attempt to block it, so we want to make sure that that's followed through, and we do have punitive authority to hold them accountable if they don't,” she told Glenn.

As for the JFK files, Luna said that she believes that much of the information that has been pushed is “faulty.”

“I do believe that there were two shooters,” she admitted, noting how autopsy reports indicated more than one entry wound.

She also warned that anyone trying to push back against declassification or discredit information shouldn’t be trusted — “If you really have nothing to hide, then you should not be afraid of the questioning; you should not be afraid of information getting out to the American people,” she said.

In the coming days, open congressional hearings will take place, during which new evidence will be presented and people who were formally written off will have their chance to speak. Granted Kash Patel is confirmed, he will also bring forth files that have long been concealed.

Glenn can’t help but be concerned, though: If Congress gets involved, won’t that just slow the process down and possibly even prevent the files from being declassified?

“The whole purpose and objective of this task force is actually to ensure that with President Trump's executive order that the agencies and the bureaucrats in those agencies do exactly what that executive order says, which is to declassify. So we're not going to be siloing or holding any information that won't be available to the American people,” Luna assured. “We are simply reopening the investigation with new evidence, also bringing in credible witnesses that will be verified and confirmed via the House Oversight Committee itself.”

As for the Epstein client list, Luna says that she is pushing for its release, but Attorney General Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, granted he is confirmed, will be the ones to make that decision. Both have spoken in favor of declassifying it.

GOP rep to head task force to declassify JFK files, Epstein client list



Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida announced Tuesday that she was appointed to chair a new task force aimed at declassifying federal secrets.

The task force will focus on declassifying records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Luna will also be investigating materials pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein's client list, documents related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack, the origins of COVID-19, and UFOs.

'This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency, and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve.'

"For far too long, the federal government has not answered these questions," Chairman James Comer, who appointed Luna to the post, said during a press conference Tuesday. "This creates distrust in our institutions. That ends today."

"This will no longer be a task force that makes bold promises only to fade into irrelevance or send strongly worded letters," Luna said during the press conference. "This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency, and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve. We will cut through the bureaucracy, challenge the stonewalling, and ensure that the American people finally get the truth that they have been denied for far too long."

This task force emerged following President Donald Trump's historic executive order requiring the declassification of documents related to the assassinations of King and the Kennedys. Since then, the FBI has uncovered over 2,400 records tied to the assassination of President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963.

JFK and MLK families unhappy about declassification. Are they afraid of the dark truth?



When President Donald Trump signed the executive order requiring the declassification of all documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the public was ecstatic.

After decades of conspiracy theories and wondering, finally the people will have their answers.

The enthusiasm of the general public, however, was not mirrored by the families of the victims.

“The Martin Luther King family has reacted to Trump's executive order, as has the JFK family,” Glenn Beck reports. Neither are thrilled with Trump’s decision to release the files.

“Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back,” John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, reacted.

MLK’s family members expressed hesitation and asked to be “provided the opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release.”

Many find these reactions strange. Shouldn’t the families of the victims want the public to know the truth about how their loved ones died?

Glenn says that what’s in these files may be so dark that the families are scared for the truth to get out.

For example, “The guy who is the Martin Luther King [Jr.] authorized biographer” — a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who even the King family has deemed credible — “has come out and said really bad things are in this file,” says Glenn.

Most people already know that King was a “philanderer,” but these files may contain evidence that King had affairs with upwards of 40 women.

Further, Glenn speculates that the MLK files may contain evidence that corroborates the 1964 blackmail letter written by the FBI accusing King of “immoral conduct lower than that of a beast.”

In the letter, the writer refers to a tape that allegedly documents all of King’s debaucheries.

“‘It is all there on the record, your sexual orgies. Listen to yourself you filthy, abnormal animal. You are on the record. You have been on the record — all your adulterous acts, your sexual orgies extending far into the past. ... There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation,”’ Glenn reads from the letter.

That said, these soon-to-be-released files may contain the tape referred to in the letter, if such a tape exists and has not already been destroyed.

As for the John F. Kennedy files and the opposition expressed by JKF’s grandson, Glenn and co-host Stu Burguiere can’t understand why someone would want to obscure the true history of what happened — even if it paints their family in a negative light.

“If you want the country to survive, you have to be transparent,” says Glenn. And that goes for the assassinations of MLK, JFK, and RFK, as well as recent events, such as the truth about January 6, Russiagate, and the Biden crime family.

“Good or bad ... the American people deserve to know the truth,” says Stu.

Trump ushers in era of transparency, orders DECLASSIFICATION of JFK, RFK, and MLK files



When Americans voted for Donald Trump, they voted for transparency. The people have had enough of the lies that protect the deep state and leave them in the dark. Trump’s nominee for the next director of the FBI, Kash Patel, who has unabashedly supported declassification, has served as further proof that Trump is serious about rooting out corruption and bringing the truth to light.

Yesterday, he made his intentions to usher transparency into the federal government even clearer via an executive order that will declassify the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“That’s a big one, huh? A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed,” Trump said as he signed the order. He then passed his pen to a bystander and added, “Give that to RFK Jr.”

Sara Gonzales and contributors Matthew Marsden and Jaco Booyens dive into this breaking story.

“Promises made, promises kept,” says Sara, adding that this move is meant to “show the public that the American government has been working against the American people for a very, very long time.”

And Trump, as a victim of our weaponized government, is the perfect person to usher in this era of transparency.

“He's going to be in the top three presidents of all time if he keeps going like this,” says Marsden. “He's [untangling] this mess that has just festered and festered and gone on and on and on for years and years and years, and I'm here for it.”

Marsden adds that as horrible as the Biden regime was, Trump’s miraculous return to the White House “would never have happened” without “those four years of corruption.”

“It had to be that way for America to reset. It's like a re-founding that we're going through right now,” he says.

Sara is hoping that these declassifications won’t stop and that the public will finally get answers about Trump’s own near assassination.

“Let's go through all of those files, let's comb through what they know that they're not telling us because we know so very little about this man, this loner, this guy that kept to himself that just so happened to elude all of these Secret Service agents and local police,” she says.

“How did he get on the roof? He came through the metal detectors with a rangefinder? ... Why weren’t the Secret Service agents on the roof? ... Why wasn’t this in the perimeter of security in the first place?” she asks.

“There were so many things that didn’t add up, and you gotta believe that part of the reason Donald Trump is so hellbent on this is because it was only by the grace of God that he turned his head and didn’t end up like JFK.”

“Let’s not wait 30-40 years to learn” what happened, says Booyens. “Let’s learn that now.”

The panel agrees, however, that there’s a lot more that needs to be declassified in the coming days. From Benghazi to 9/11 to the Epstein list, the American people deserve to know the truth.

“Let's just go all the way and let that scalpel cut so clean and let the cookie crumble where it crumbles. If that means presidents fall, let them fall,” says Booyens.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr says he skipped the Trump inauguration to watch game tape — then he lost by 40



NBA coach Steve Kerr said he didn't bother to watch any of President Donald Trump's inauguration and instead focused on preparation for a game against the Boston Celtics.

Kerr, a longtime Trump critic and coach of the Golden State Warriors, gave a typical reaction in that he joked about the president while still offering criticism.

The former player was asked about the day of ceremonies and what he thought of the incoming administration on Inauguration Day, if anything.

"I don't know. I didn't watch the inauguration," Kerr replied. "I chose to watch Celtics tape."

The room erupted into laughter, but it is actually quite reasonable for the coach to be focused on his job, especially when his team is performing well below its standards.

A reporter asked a follow-up, saying, "In light of that, just a thought of what this day means to you —"

Kerr cut the reporter off and immediately chose to take a dig at the incoming president by completely ignoring the significance of the inauguration and instead focusing on Martin Luther King Day.

"I always love playing on MLK Day," the coach stated. "It's a very significant day for all Americans. And I think the NBA has really kind of adopted it as part of our culture, and I'm very proud of that."

Kerr concluded that it was a "very meaningful day for everyone, for sure," seemingly in reference to MLK Day, not the inauguration.

Unfortunately, Kerr's studying in no way helped his Warriors, as they were promptly stomped by the Celtics in their 5 p.m. showdown.

Star Steph Curry was one of just two Warriors players to score in double digits in a horrendous 40-point loss, 125-85.

'I believe in democracy.'

Kerr and Curry are staunch Democrats and strongly endorsed Kamala Harris for president in the summer before the election.

After Trump won, Kerr made a series of sarcastic remarks meant to poke fun at the president and what he thought of the 2020 election results.

"I'm just thankful there wasn't any voting fraud this time. Last time, all those illegal immigrants who crashed the border, raped and murdered people, and then voted six times, that was unfortunate," Kerr joked.

As typical of him though, the coach did express sentiments that Trump would do well.

"I believe in democracy. I think the American people have spoken and voted for Trump. I want him to do well the next four years. I want our country to do well."

Kerr also expressed sympathy for Trump after his attempted assassination in July but immediately called for gun control.

Community notes slap FBI's Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative post with reminder the bureau sought his ruin



The FBI joined other government agencies Monday in noting their newfound appreciation for civil rights legend Martin Luther King Jr., for whom the day was made a federal holiday in 1983. Now with Twitter under different management and X's community notes feature fully engaged, there was little chance of the bureau's commemorative post squeaking by unscathed.

"This #MLKDay, the #FBI honors one of the most prominent leaders of the Civil Rights movement and reaffirms its commitment to Dr. King's legacy of fairness and equal justice for all," said the Jan. 15 post.

The post was promptly slapped with community notes painting the FBI as the villain in King's story.

"The FBI engaged in surveillance of King, attempted to discredit him, and used manipulation tactics to influence him to stop organizing," said the community note. "King's family believe the FBI was responsible for his death."

While a jury determined in 1999 civil case that "government agencies" had been party to a conspiracy to assassinate King, the community note insinuating the FBI specifically had a hand in King's death does not appear to have been substantiated. The other damning claims about the FBI are, however, a matter of record.

The FBI's commitment

The FBI began surveilling MLK in December 1955 during his involvement with the Montgomery bus boycott, according to an FBI memorandum. Despite its understanding that King was an advocate of nonviolence, the bureau continued to execute covert operations against the civil rights leader for the remainder of his short life, which ended with his assassination on April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis.

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was especially antipathetic to King, suggesting in one memo that he acted like "a tom cat with obsessive degenerate sexual urges," reported the New York Times.

Hoover's intense dislike for King appeared to have less to do with the activist's adultery and more to do with fears the activist might align himself with the Communist Party, according to MLK documentarian Sam Pollard.

Although King had a communist attorney and other leftists in his orbit, the FBI obtained evidence that King regarded communism as an "alien philosophy." Nevertheless, the bureau painted King as a "whole-hearted Marxist who has studied it [Marxism], believes it and agrees with it, but because of his being a minister of religion, does not dare to espouse it publicly."

The Senate's Church Committee on U.S. intelligence overreach later reported in the 1970s that "rather than trying to discredit the alleged Communists it believed were attempting to influence Dr. King, the Bureau adopted a curious tactic of trying to discredit the supposed target of Communist Party interest — Dr. King himself."

According to the Senate report, the big fear was that King would become a political "'messiah' who could 'unify, and electrify,' the movement."

After King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963, an FBI characterized him as "the most dangerous and effective Negro leader in the country," reported Newsweek.

The committee also confirmed in 1975 that the FBI was responsible for the so-called "suicide letter" in 1964, which denigrated and dehumanized King, told him the "end is approaching," and stressed, "there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is."

— (@)

The bureau ultimately sought to prevent King from speaking, teaching, writing and publishing, and meeting — a tradition the FBI has continued to this day. For example, the FBI has in recent months and years targeted conservative Christians as "potential domestic terrorists" and apparently worked to suppress undesirable speech online.

Social media justice

The community notes on the FBI Martin Luther King Jr. Day post were widely celebrated.

Among those who found this check on the FBI amusing was All-American, all-female swim star Riley Gaines, who wrote, "X is the only platform where a government agency like the FBI can be fact checked in real time by regular ole people ... too good."

Matt Welch, the editor of the libertarian publication Reason, responded, "The only comment you should ever make on this holiday is an apology."

Doug Stafford, chief strategist for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), wrote, "In honor of #MLKDay the @FBI would like you to know they now spy on all Americans, not just civil rights leaders."

After getting ridiculed and mocked over its X post, the FBI told Fox News Digital, "The FBI has long acknowledged the abuses of power that took place under Director J. Edgar Hoover and the deplorable actions taken against Dr. King and others involved in the civil rights movement."
