Former US President Donald Trump said he would establish a commission in charge of information about assassination plots if he is re-elected to the White House.
During a campaign rally in Arizona on August 23, Mr. Trump said he would task the committee with releasing all remaining documents related to the assassination of the late US President John F. Kennedy, Axios reported. He spoke while on stage with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr), the nephew of the late President Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy Jr. has just announced that he will stop running in battleground states and turn to support the Republican presidential candidate.

"He (RFK Jr.) lost a father and an uncle who served our country. Bobby (RFK Jr.'s other name) himself was threatened many times during the campaign," Trump said. The late President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In 1968, his younger brother, Democratic Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who is also the father of current candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was also assassinated. The two assassinations remain mysterious and the subject of conspiracy theories. Donald Trump also added that the independent commission he established would also thoroughly investigate last month's attack, mentioning that he himself was the target of an assassination attempt in July . In a brief speech on Trump's campaign stage, Kennedy Jr. said the former president would "make America great again." NBC News reported that Mr Kennedy had been offered a position in the Trump administration if he won the election and would be in charge of health care . Mr Trump referred to Mr Kennedy Jr's father and uncle, saying: "I know they are looking down right now and they are very proud of Bobby. I am proud of Bobby." The Kennedy siblings issued a joint statement, criticizing Mr Kennedy Jr's support for Mr Trump as "a betrayal of the values that my father and my family stood for."
