As he gears up for his 2024 presidential bid, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes startling revelations about the assassination of JFK in a riveting new book, asserting that his father, Robert Kennedy, suspected the CIA of orchestrating the president's murder.

In his book, "American Values: Lessons I Learned From My Family", RFK Jr. writes, "My dad immediately suspected that the CIA had killed Uncle Jack." He recounts his father's swift response to the tragedy, secretly dispatching a friend to Moscow to reassure the leadership that neither Castro nor Russia were implicated in JFK's death.

Kennedy Jr.'s book delves into the escalating friction between the Kennedy administration and the CIA that began in earnest when JFK assumed office in 1961 and appointed his younger brother Bobby as attorney general. The Kennedys, he says, were intent on supervising CIA operations, as the agency was accountable only to the director of national intelligence and the sitting president.

RFK Jr. notes his father's deep-seated distrust of the CIA and FBI, and his skepticism towards the Secret Service. "My father had no trust in the FBI or CIA, and little faith in the Secret Service, which he'd tried to move from Treasury to the Justice Department," he writes.

The book suggests that JFK's public criticism of former CIA director Allen Dulles, following the failed attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba, sparked a covert conflict between the Kennedy administration and the agency.

RFK Jr. also alludes to a sense of impending doom JFK seemingly felt ahead of his fatal trip to Dallas in November 1963. "Jack seemed to have his own sense of foreboding as he prepared for the trip," he writes. "Exactly two weeks before his death, Jack had visited Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day and remarked, 'I could stay here forever.'"

Despite these allegations, the FBI, after conducting thorough investigations, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in JFK's assassination.
