Former President Donald Trump said Friday that, if elected, he will create an independent commission to investigate assassination attempts.
At a rally in Arizona, where he was joined by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump said the commission would be “tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”
“And they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month,” Trump added, referring to the attempt to assassinate him at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump called the move a “tribute in honor of Bobby,” as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stood onstage next to him hours after suspending his campaign and throwing support behind the former president. Kennedy is the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy.
Trump has previously said he would release the full tranche of records relating to the assassination of John F. Kennedy if he wins a second term. His pledge comes after agreeing, while in office, to only release some records and keep others secret at the request of national security agencies.
