Former President Donald Trump has announced that if he is re-elected in 2024, he will release all files related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. This statement comes in response to claims by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic Party rival, who said there is overwhelming evidence of CIA involvement in his uncle’s assassination.
During an interview with The Messenger, Trump declined to comment on specific concerns about the JFK records, but said he would release the remaining portion early in his term if re-elected.
Trump made the announcement in an interview with The Messenger on Monday, saying, “I released a lot, as you know. And I’m going to release everything else.”
During his first term, Trump ordered the release of thousands of JFK files, but kept others on hold because of FBI and CIA concerns. This action was prompted by the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which set a 2017 deadline for the release of all classified material related to the Kennedy assassination.
In 2018, Trump delayed the full release of the documents until October 2021, citing national security concerns. President Joe Biden later postponed it to December 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In particular, Tucker Carlson, a reporter formerly at Fox News, reported speaking with a person with direct knowledge of the JFK assassination. When asked about CIA involvement, the source answered in the affirmative, stating, “The answer is yes. I think they were involved. It’s a completely different country than we thought it was. It’s all fake.”
This is Tucker Carlson’s interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. four years ago, in which Bobby Kennedy’s son shares his “mystification” about the JFK assassination files that have not yet been fully released.
Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Although an investigation concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, questions have persisted for the past six decades. The JFK assassination has been the subject of persistent theories that challenge the government’s official account of a lone shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald. The Warren Commission report supported the lone actor theory, while a 1979 House committee report suggested the possibility of multiple shooters.
Jim Garrison, a district attorney in Louisiana, conducted research into the shooting and wrote books on the subject, which inspired the Oliver Stone film “JFK.” The CIA includes a study on its website that suggests Garrison’s allegations may stem from a Soviet-backed disinformation scheme.
Tucker Carlson, in one of his blockbuster monologues before leaving his Fox News show, shares the hidden story of the JFK assassination and its possible connection to the impeachment of Richard Nixon as president.
“So if you want to understand, if you really want to understand how the American government really works at the highest levels, and if you want to know why they don’t teach history anymore, one thing you should know is that the most The popular president of american history was richard nixon. richard nixon. yet somehow, without a single american vote being cast, richard nixon was ousted from office and replaced by the only unelected president of the American history,” Carlson said. “So we went from the most popular president to a president nobody voted for. Wait a minute, you might ask, why didn’t I know that? Wasn’t Richard Nixon a criminal?
“Wasn’t he despised by all decent people? No, it wasn’t. In fact, if any president could claim to be the people’s choice, it was Richard Nixon,” he continued. “Richard Nixon was reelected in 1972 by the largest popular vote margin ever recorded before or since. Nixon won 17 million more votes than his opponent. Less than two years later, he was gone. He was forced to resign and in his place an obedient servant of the federal agencies named Gerald Ford took over the White House.”
“How did that happen?” added. “Well, it’s a long story, but here are the highlights and they tell you a lot. Richard Nixon believed that elements of the federal bureaucracy were working to undermine the American system of government and had been doing so for a long time. He said it often. He was absolutely right. On June 23, 1972, Nixon met with then-CIA director Richard Helms at the White House. During the conversation, which was fortunately caught on tape, Nixon suggested that he knew “who shot John,” meaning President John F. Kennedy. Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in the Kennedy assassination, which we now know it was. Helms’ blunt response? Total silence, but Nixon didn’t care because it was over. Four days earlier, on June 19, The Washington Post had published the first of many stories about a break-in at the Watergate office building.
“Unbeknownst to Nixon and unbeknownst to him by the Washington Post, four of the five thieves were working for the CIA,” he said. “The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old subway reporter named Bob Woodward. Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Well, he wasn’t a reporter. Bob Woodward had no background in the news business. Instead , Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government.Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon.
“He had a secret clearance,” Tucker continued. “He worked regularly with intelligence agencies. At times, Woodward was even detailed to the Nixon White House, where he interacted with Richard Nixon’s top aides. Shortly after leaving the Navy, for reasons that have never been clear, Woodward was hired by the most powerful news outlet in Washington and assigned the biggest story in the country.Just to make it clear what was going on, Woodward’s primary source for his Watergate series it was FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt, and Mark Felt ran, and we’re not making this up, the FBI’s COINTELPRO program, which was designed to covertly discredit political actors, federal agencies wanted to destroy people like Richard Nixon. And at the same time, these same agencies were also working to remove Nixon’s Vice President-elect, Spiro Agnew. In the fall of 1973, Agnew was indicted for tax evasion and forced to resign. His replacement was a colorless congressman from Grand Rapids named Gerald Ford.
“How qualified was Ford for the job?” he asked. “Well, he had been part of the Warren Commission, which cleared the CIA of responsibility for the assassination of President Kennedy.”
Although Biden has released several batches of JFK documents, critics argue that many documents remain undisclosed. The nonprofit Mary Ferrell Foundation filed a lawsuit against Biden and the National Archives and Records Administration, alleging that the delay since 2017 violated the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act.
According to a CNN report, approximately 95% of the CIA documents within the JFK assassination records collection have been released to the public so far.
