Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that the newly-released documents pertaining to the assassination of Democrat Senator Robert F. Kennedy raise even “more questions than answers.”

“There’s no smoking gun,’” Gabbard stated. “But there are a lot of interesting things that have not been previously known that really call into question what really happened and who was behind it.”

Gabbard and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the release of 10,000 documents on Friday, in relation to the 1968 assassination of RFK — who was shot and killed after delivering a speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

RFK was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian immigrant who eventually admitted to killing Kennedy in the 1969 trial. At the time, Sirhan told journalist David Frost that he felt betrayed by the senator, while citing RFK’S unwavering “support of Israel.” However, at another point, Sirhan also claimed that he had “no memory” of committing the crime.

RFK’s autopsy found that he was ultimately killed by a bullet that was fired from behind his ear, which conflicts with the official narrative, as reports during that time stated that Sirhan was standing “in front” of Kennedy. This has prompted skeptics to ponder whether there was a second shooter in the whole ordeal.

Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stepped into the spotlight once more, increasingly addressing the circumstances surrounding his father’s assassination. Kennedy also questioned, in addition to skeptics, whether Sirhan was the sole shooter who killed his father.

“The people that were closest to [Sirhan], the people that disarmed him, all said he never got near my father,” RFK Jr. stated in 2018. “I was disturbed that the wrong person might have been convicted of killing my father. My father was the chief law enforcement officer in this country.”

“I think it would have disturbed him if somebody was put in jail for a crime they didn’t commit,” he added.

RFK Jr. previously supported Sirhan’s request for parole in 2021 — which ultimately ended up being denied by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.).

He now remains incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California.

On Friday, Gabbard questioned the media’s official RFK assassination narrative in a Fox News segment, shockingly revealing that a number of American ambassadors in foreign countries had been speaking about the assassination “before he was actually killed,” leading her to question whether it was a global effort and to what end.

“There are other documents I mentioned, State Department cables that 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,” she stated. “I think in my view these documents provide the background to more questions than answers.”

“If you look on this memo alone, you see Kuwait, London, Tel Aviv, Beirut, Benghazi… all of these American embassies who were the recipients of this cable,” Gabbard continued. “People are going to have to go to the website and read for themselves to kind of get an insight into what the conversations were like before, and after, Senator Kennedy’s assassination.”

“There’s no smoking gun,” she added. “But there are a lot of interesting things that have not been previously known that really call into question what really happened and who was behind it.”

Additionally, one of the unredacted files included a note, which was implied to have been written by Sirhan, that called for RFK to be “disposed of, like his brother was,” referencing the assassination of Democrat President John F. Kennedy.

In conclusion, Gabbard revealed that there is an additional 50,000 documents pertaining to RFK’s assassination that have not yet been released, as multiple federal officials under Gabbard are now working around the clock to process the files for their release.

The U.S. military released the names of the two Marines that were tragically killed in a vehicle accident on Tuesday after swerving off the road into a 10-foot ditch and rolled over along a narrow highway in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.

The two Marines were identified as Lance Cpl. Albert A. Aguilera, 22, of Riverside, California, and Lance Cpl. Marcelino M. Gamino, 28, of Fresno, California. The two service members were both combat engineers with the 1^st Combat Engineer Battalion, according to the 1^st Marine Division.

The deceased military members were there to help in the Trump administration’s crackdown on the border to stop illegal crossings and halt drugs coming into the U.S. such as fentanyl. 

During his service, Gamino received the National Defense Service Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. He was also deployed to Darwin, Australia, with Marine Rotational Force-Darwin in 2024.

Aguilera enlisted in March 2023 and was promoted to lance corporal in May 2024, according to the release.

“The loss of Lance Cpl. Aguilera and Lance Cpl. Gamino is deeply felt by all of us,” U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Tyrone A. Barrion, the commanding officer for 1^st Combat Engineer Battalion and Task Force Sapper, said in a statement.

“I extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers to the families of our fallen brothers. Our top priority right now is to ensure that their families, and the Marines affected by their passing, are fully supported during this difficult time,” Barrion added.

The Marines were driving along a two-lane highway as they tried to pass another vehicle, causing their civilian Jeep vehicle to roll into a ditch known as “Snake Canyon,” which is known for snakes and drug smuggling. 

The two Marines were taken to University Medical Hospital, El Paso, Texas, where they later died.

A border agent “was covered head to toe” in blood after attempting to save the service members, according to a source.

“That area out there is treacherous,” said a source.

“It would be a horrible place to go off the road because the canyon is right off the shoulder. It has concrete tunnels that run underneath the highway and we have sensors there because illegal aliens hide under it and then get picked up by a load vehicle,” said another source.

The two Marines were airlifted to University Medical Hospital, El Paso, Texas, where they later died.

Meanwhile, a third Marine in the battalion remains in critical condition after sustaining injuries in the accident, the 1^st Marine Division said.
