Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Suspends Campaign & Endorses Donald Trump
---------------------------------------------------------------

In U.S. campaign news, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his
independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. The two
campaigned together on Friday in Arizona. Kennedy's siblings have
publicly criticized his decision. In a statement, they said, "Our
brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the
values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending
to a sad story." Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the son of Robert F. Kennedy
and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated
in the 1960s. On Friday, Donald Trump vowed, if elected, to launch a
commission on presidential assassination attempts.

Donald Trump: "And they will also conduct a rigorous review of the
attack last month. But I tell you, I have never had more people ask me,
'Please, sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination.' And
we're going to do that."
