Following the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, FBI’s newly declassified files reveal a man named William Frederick Crosson threatened the Kennedy family. Crosson managed to get within 100 yards of the airplane carrying Kennedy's body before being arrested at a nearby bar. Simultaneously, police searched for a woman linked to the assassin Sirhan Sirhan. These events highlight the national panic and numerous threats reported to the FBI following RFK's assassination as documented in the released files by Tulsi Gabbard at Trump's request.
He had been making death threats against the FBI, the Secret Service and the Kennedy family at the airport and at the bar in which he was arrested.
The documents, released by Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, following a campaign promise from Donald Trump, show the panic of FBI field office across the country.
At the same time, police issued a bulletin for the arrest of a 'female Caucasian' between the ages of 23 and 27 who was seen with Kennedy's assassin.
In New York City, the FBI reported a man named Michael Cornelius 'telephonically advised' how a man came up to him on the corner of 9th Avenue and 17 Street to let him know the train tracks near Washington's Union Station were mined.
