Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, to lead the internal investigation into the CIA’s possible involvement in President Kennedy’s assassination, according to a new report from Axios. Mrs. Kennedy, who served as a CIA agent before running her father-in-law’s presidential campaign, is being pushed by Mr. Kennedy to be nominated as the agency’s deputy director. 

Mr. Kennedy — who has been tapped to lead the health and human services department by President Trump — has long asserted that both his own father and his uncle were killed by government agents, in part, because of their opposition to military operations in Vietnam. In an interview with the New York Sun earlier this year, Mr. Kennedy reiterated that claim, saying that his father was likely assassinated by one of his own Secret Services agents. The rest of the Kennedy family have said they do not  share this view.
