Trump admin live updates: Trump says Hamas will release hostage Edan Alexander

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday announced the release of about 60,000 files on the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. That's in addition to some 10,000 files released last month.

These “additional investigative materials corroborate this previously released information,” Gabbard said.

“As was first uncovered in the initial tranche of 10,000 RFK files, there were rumors circulating on foreign soil that Senator Kennedy had been shot one month prior to his true assassination date,” she explained.

According to Gabbard, the newly released files “have been sitting in various storage facilities across the federal government for decades and had never been digitized or accessible to the public before.”

The latest release includes the Los Angeles Police Department’s interviews with Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Kennedy, as well as recordings of interviews with eyewitnesses.

Gabbard said additional files will continue to be “uploaded alongside the previously released files at archives.gov/rfk to ensure all RFK assassination documents can be found in a centralized, searchable format.”

Some files will have redactions for Social Security numbers, tax identification numbers and grand jury information.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., returned to the Capitol after meeting with his congressional counterparts and top administration officials at the White House -- as Republicans aim to settle the final sticking points of negotiations on reconciliation.

"We're moving ahead and … all the fine points of reconciliation are coming together,” Johnson said. "Everybody's very optimistic about the timetable that we think we can get our part done by Memorial Day."

Johnson did not get into detail about the White House meeting but rejected a Congressional Budget Office analysis requested by Democrats that breaks down various proposals to reform Medicaid.

"They don't even know what proposals we're considering so that's all nonsense," Johnson said. "We're still talking about these things."

The Trump administration has invoked the rarely used state secrets privilege in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case, according to a court order.

"The court requires formal briefing of the Defendants' invocations of privilege, principally the state secrets and deliberative process privileges," U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said in a filing on Wednesday.

Last week, Xinis denied the Trump administration's motion to stay discovery in the case.

The Trump administration previously invoked the state secrets privilege in a separate case in March when the government refused to provide a federal judge with information about deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act to El Salvador.

In response to the invocation of privilege by the Trump administration, Xinis ordered the parties to submit briefs by May 12 and scheduled a hearing for May 16.

The White House is expected to pull its nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as U.S. surgeon general just one day before she was expected to appear before the Senate for her confirmation hearing, sources told ABC News.

When announcing his intent to nominate Nesheiwat to the post back in November, Trump touted Dr. Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor, for working on the front lines in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The news comes as far-right activist Laura Loomer called on the president to pick a new nominee following the controversy that Nesheiwat received her medical degree from American University of the Caribbean instead of University of Arkansas. Loomer also criticized Nesheiwat for being pro-vaccine.
