The CIA released nearly 1,500 pages of previously classified documents relating to New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and his 1968 assassination on Thursday, detailing the spy agency’s work to investigate his killing as well as previously unknown contacts between him and the agency. Kennedy met with the CIA following a 1955 tour of the Soviet Union, relaying his observations to the spy agency as a voluntary informant, the documents show. The newly available material comprises 54 documents, including memos about the agency’s work to investigate whether RFK’s killer had any foreign ties, as well as the response to his killing by foreign powers. The records also included documents about the assassinations of President John F.

President Donald Trump enacted a new law that strikes down California’s effort to eliminate sales of new gasoline-powered cars by the year 2035.
The bill was officially signed by Trump on Thursday in the White House’s East Room during a formal ceremony.
“I want to thank everybody for being here. We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating the California electric vehicle mandate once and for all,” Trump declared to a round of applause as he finalized the legislation.
Trump criticized the previous policy, noting its national ripple effects: “They’d pass these crazy rules in California, and…17 states would go by ’em, and the automakers didn’t know what to do, because they’re really building cars for two countries,” he said.

This coming Sunday will mark the end of Ronen Bar’s term as the Shin Bet chief. Since the confirmation of the next Shin Bet chief, Major General David Zini, is expected to take another several weeks, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made a decision on Thursday to assign the responsibility to “S.,” who currently serves as the Shin Bet deputy chief. S. will fill the position temporarily for a month or until the completion of Zini’s appointment process—whichever comes first. Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, who ruled that Netanyahu is “not allowed” to appoint the next Shin Bet chief due to what she claims is a “conflict of interest,” approved the appointment of S. for up to a month due to “exceptional circumstances that have arisen” and as not to harm state security.
