Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s unpopular and unqualified pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services, has gone on record a bunch of times alleging that the CIA was behind the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy. And with help from a friend, he now hopes to prove it.
According to a report from Axios, Kennedy has been working behind the scenes to get his daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy nominated to help lead the CIA as its deputy director. Now it’s clear why: Kennedy wants her to find out whether the agency was involved in the 35th president’s murder.
Axios cited two Republican sources who said that Kennedy was determined to “get to the bottom” of what happened to his uncle, who was assassinated in plain view on a downtown Dallas street on Nov. 22, 1963.
“RFK believes that and wants to get to the bottom of it,” one of Axios’ sources said regarding a popular theory alleging that the federal government was somehow involved in the events of that day.
