The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
While the files contain no "smoking gun," they raise significant questions about the official narrative of Kennedy's assassination, including the true nature of potential foreign involvement in the events surrounding the senator's death. By lifting the veil, the Trump administration has fulfilled its campaign promise and struck a win for government transparency.
Establishment-critical narrative
The Trump administration is just catering to conspiracy theorists. Although things could change as people go through the trove of files, so far no one with an interest in this case has found anything to add to the historic record. Sirhan admitted to the killing and revealed his motive, and it's unlikely he'll be exonerated any time soon.
