During an interview Tuesday, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once again directly accused the CIA of killing President John F. Kennedy, his uncle, and then engaging in a “60-year coverup”.
During the interview on Hannity, RFK Jr. stated “There are millions of pages of documents; CIA documents, of transcripts, of recorded conversations from the Cuban embassy in Mexico City… there are confessions of people who were directly involved in the plot or the planning of the plot, who were peripheral to the plot. There’s a 60-year coverup.”
“The Warren Commission was run by Allen Dulles who was head of the CIA who my uncle fired, and then insinuated himself onto the Warren Commission and essentially ran the Warren Commission and kept this evidence from the Warren Commissioners,” he continued.
The Democratic candidate added that “When Congress — ten years later — investigated the crime with much more evidence than the Warren Commission had at its disposal, Congress found that, yeah, it was a plot, it was a conspiracy.”
“There were multiple people involved. And most of the people in that investigation believed that it was the CIA that was behind it — because the evidence was so overwhelming to them,” He added.

Kennedy also spoke about Jack Ruby’s connections to the mob, and his father Robert F. Kennedy’s gut instinct that the CIA was behind JFK’s assassination.
“None of it made any sense,” he noted, adding “Even when I was a little boy, I was my uncle was laying at rest in the East Room being waked, and I was standing in the main foyer of the White House with my aunt, Jackie Kennedy, and my father and my mother. And President Johnson came in and told us that Lee Harvey Oswald had just been killed by Jack Ruby. I said to my mom at that point, ‘Why did he kill him? Did he love our family?’”
“My father, when he investigated Jack Ruby, he found out that Jack Ruby had been deeply involved with Carlos Marcello’s mob, Sam Giancana, and all the mob leaders Santos Trafficante, who were the Havana casino owners who had been recruited by the CIA in the Castro murder plots. So they were all working together in cahoots with the CIA,” Kennedy further asserted.
He continued, “The day my uncle was killed, I was picked up at Sidwell Friends school and brought home. the first phone call my father made after J. Edgar Hoover told him his brother had been shot was to the CIA desk officer in Langley, only a mile from our house, and my father said to him: “Did you people do this?”
“His next call was to Harry Ruiz, one of the Cuban Pay of Pigs leaders who had remained very close to our family and to my father, my father asked him the same question,” Kennedy added.
He continued, “Then, my father called John McCone, who was the head of the CIA, and asked him to come to the house. McCone came over and when I came home from Sidwell Friends school, my father was walking in the yard with John McCone, and my father was posing the same question to him: was it our people who did this to my brother?”
“It was my father’s first instinct that the agency had killed his brother,” Kennedy urged.
During his campaign announcement last month, RFK Jr. spoke about his uncle vowing to “take the CIA and shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind” after the disastrous Bay of Pigs incident.
RFK Jr. emphasised that JFK had concluded before he was assassinated that “the function of the intelligence agencies had become to provide the military industrial complex with a constant pipeline of war.”
Kennedy Jr. promised to “let loose” on those who have attempted to silence him for 18 years, asserting “This is what happens when you censor somebody for 18 years. I’ve got a lot to talk about.”
RFK Jr. also again noted on Twitter that JFK was furious with the CIA after The Bay of Pigs fiasco and intended to destroy it:
He also expanded on his comments on the CIA and secrecy surrounding JFK’s death:
As a Cuban, I felt betrayed by your uncle. We never got to help. Promised to us we will train by the CIA and they told us they were coming and Cubans are always blame your uncle for this, but the more I seem to find out the more I feel differently.

He also expanded on his comments on the CIA and secrecy surrounding JFK’s death:
Here is a picture of me with my uncle, whose wisdom affected me profoundly. Today, these words of his are especially relevant: “A nation that is afraid to let its people judge truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.” pic.twitter.com/Kj1VM01xbB

Nobody should be surprised when Americans are distrustful of a government that refuses to reveal 60-year-old secrets. The American people are entitled to see every document, as the law requires.https://t.co/ZrwigxfC4p
