Trump again vows to reopen JFK assassination case — this time with RFK Jr. at his side

Former President Donald Trump unveiled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on stage with him at a Turning Point rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday hours after Kennedy suspended his own presidential campaign and threw his support behind Trump.

"He deserves it, he deserves it," said Trump in response to the applause of his supporters for Kennedy, noting it might be the loudest applause of anyone he ever brought onstage.

"For the past 16 months, Bobby has run an extraordinary campaign for President of the United States," said Trump, noting that he even "went after me a couple of times."

Trump then claimed without evidence that Kennedy "would have easily beaten Joe Biden, but they wouldn't let him in" to the Democratic primary.

Before turning the mic over to Kennedy, Trump vowed to create an independent commission on assassination attempts, which would review the assassination of John F. Kennedy and release all documents on the matter.

It's a promise he has made repeatedly for his supporters. Conspiracy theories have surrounded the assassination of JFK, with Trump even suggesting in 2016 that the father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) could have had something to do with the killing.

Trump is coming off of surviving an assassination attempt earlier this year in Pennsylvania, when a gunman with an AR-15 style rifle opened fire on his rally and grazed his ear with a bullet before Secret Service snipers killed the shooter. Questions over how the Secret Service was unable to prevent the attack remain central to an ongoing investigation.
