Robert F. Kennedy’s daughter laments ‘pain’ over release of autopsy photos from assassination in declassified files, saying she ‘did not support this’

WASHINGTON — Robert F. Kennedy’s daughter Kerry yesterday described the “pain” she and her family felt on seeing photos published by the Trump administration of her father’s autopsy after his 1968 assassination.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to declassify remaining secret files on the 1960s killings of President John F. Kennedy, his younger brother and former attorney general Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Following the Friday release, remembering her father “will be hard in a new and unimaginable way,” Kerry Kennedy posted to X.

“We won’t just see him as we remember him. Instead, we’ll be confronted with graphic, explicit photos of his mangled body from an autopsy report,” she added.
