Democrat presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. has said there is “overwhelming evidence” that the Central Intelligence Agency was involved in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, in 1963.
Kennedy commented on the issue during a Sunday interview with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable.”
“There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy continued, “the evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder — and in the cover-up.”
The candidate noted that the government is “still not releasing the papers that legally they have to release.”

“They were definitely involved in the murder and the 60-year cover-up,” he declared. “They’re still not releasing the papers that legally they have to release.”

“For anybody who has doubts about that, I would recommend a book by Jim Douglass called ‘JFK and The Unspeakable,'” Kennedy said, “because I think he’s done a better job than anybody else at kind of assembling and distilling all of the millions and millions of documents that have been released over the past 50 years. These revelations are released incrementally, so nobody really takes notice of them. But when you put them all together, the story is very clear.”
Kennedy has previously pointed out that his father and JFK were trying to end the industrial military complex before their murders.

The US government’s official position is that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as a lone wolf in the killing, according to 1964’s Warren Commission Report.
While some may think challenging the president for the nomination is a long shot, an April poll found that 14 percent of voters who backed President Joe Biden are now likely to vote for Kennedy.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Supported by 14% of Voters Who Backed President Joe Biden in 2020
“In 2020, Joe Biden received more votes than any other president in U.S. history, yet the poll tells us that those same voters are open to other Democrats to wage a spirited primary,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. “Kennedy, although a long shot at this point, starts in double digits and can’t be ignored.”
Kennedy is well known for having been heavily critical of vaccines for roughly 15 years — which only intensified during COVID-19.
The 2024 hopeful runs a non-profit called Children’s Health Defense. According to the organization’s website, its mission is to “end childhood health epidemics by working aggressively to eliminate harmful exposures, hold those responsible accountable, and establish safeguards to prevent future harm. We fight corruption, mass surveillance and censorship that put profits before people as well as advocate for worldwide rights to health freedom and bodily autonomy.”
The organization provides legal assistance with fighting mandatory vaccination in schools and the workplace.
In March, Kennedy and CHD filed a class action lawsuit against Biden, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and dozens of other officials and agencies. The complaint alleges that “the defendants have colluded with, encouraged and pressured social media companies to suppress speech that the government does not want the public to hear and to silence specific speakers who are critical of federal policy.”
CHD President and General Counsel Mary Holland said in a statement about the lawsuit, “If Government can censor its critics, there is no atrocity it cannot commit. The public has been deprived of truthful, life-and-death information over the last three years; this lawsuit aims to have government censorship end, as it must, because it is unlawful under our constitution.”
Late last month, Kennedy said that if elected, he would prosecute any official who engaged in criminal wrongdoing during the pandemic.
“It is dawning on mainstream figures like Anthony Fauci that their Covid policies were a public health disaster,” Kennedy began. “Lots of us are angry about the mandates, the lockdowns, the censorship, the insanity. But we need to avoid the toxic quagmire of retribution and blame and focus on ensuring this never happens again. Clean up the regulatory agencies, get corporate money out of public health, and guarantee free, open, uncensored public and scientific discourse.”
Of course, officials who betrayed the public trust must not be allowed to hold power. I will remove them from their positions and, if laws were broken, my attorney general will prosecute.

Kennedy continued, “Of course, officials who betrayed the public trust must not be allowed to hold power. I will remove them from their positions and, if laws were broken, my attorney general will prosecute.”
“Just to be clear, I will prosecute any official who engaged in criminal wrongdoing during the pandemic,” the candidate said. “Corrupt individuals are a small part of the problem. Our agencies have been captured by corporate power, but the vast majority of their staff are decent people. We need to get corporate influence out of *all* regulatory agencies so that they can serve the people honestly.”
“Not retribution, but justice!” Kennedy said. “As President, I will direct my attorney general to investigate and prosecute every person who knowingly defrauded or deceived the American public about the safety and efficacy of medical products and I will obtain justice and compensation for every American who was injured or suffered the death of family members from those actions. As a presidential candidate, I’ll continue to expose corruption to obtain justice for the injured.”
