Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nominee for the position of United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, said he was "very grateful to President Trump" for signing an executive order earlier today to declassify files related to the assassinations of former US President John F. Kennedy, his uncle, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, his father, NBC News reported.

"I think it’s a great move, because they need to have more transparency in our government, and he's keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything," he said.
