As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to seek Secret Service protection amid his independent bid for the presidency, his lawyer has received a document via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) detailing 34 instances of threats and bizarre rants directed toward his client.
Newsweek reviewed portions from the 775-page FOIA document obtained by Kennedy attorney Aaron Siri, which provides some unreported details of previously known events along with some that were not known to the public.
Siri has sent at least six letters to U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas formally requesting protection. Last month, former House member Patrick Kennedy emailed Mayorkas, seeking answers for the denials as well.
“As a family member of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as a former member of Congress, and as a member of the public, I struggle to understand the administration’s persistent refusal to grant Secret Service protection to a presidential candidate deemed by the Secret Service itself to be at elevated risk,” Patrick Kennedy wrote to Mayorkas in an email obtained by Newsweek.
