#388 – Robert F. Kennedy Jr: CIA, Power, Corruption, War, Freedom, and Meaning

They had gone to a party or a reception at the Russian embassy, and he had approached them, and they knew he was a GRU agent and KGB. He was both Russian. Oh, he used to come to our house. They really liked him. He was very attractive.
