RFK Jr. promises full transparency on 9/11 attacks if president, vows not to 'take sides'

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised on Friday to provide full transparency on the September 11 terrorist attacks if he wins the White House in November. 

Kennedy, who launched a long-shot third party bid for the White House after a brief bid as a Democratic contender, has been known to stoke conspiracy theories, including ones related to the death of his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy. 

The presidential dark horse said he was motivated to comment on the 9/11 attacks after a recent episode of 60 Minutes looked into whether people in the Saudi Arabian government knew about the plot ahead of time.

"It's hard to tell what is a conspiracy theory and what isn't. But conspiracy theories flourish when the government routinely lies to the public," Kennedy said in thread on X. "As President I won't take sides on 9/11 or any of the other debates. But I can promise that I will open the files and usher in a new era of transparency."

Kennedy also promised to use transparency and "honesty" to resolve questions about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and other "contentious" issues. 

"Speculation about what our government may be covering up is rife outside the mainstream of our political culture," Kennedy wrote. "Trust it government is at an all-time low. The way to restore that trust is through honesty and transparency. That is my promise."

The United States government determined that the Saudi government was not complicit in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center, which killed more than 3,000 Americans in 2001, but that some Saudi nationals helped fund Al-Qaeda.

Kennedy has previously maintained that he never studied the 2001 attack, but admitted last year that "strange things happened on 9/11," according to NBC News.
