Donald Trump Vows To Make JFK Files Public If Elected Again: 'They Didn't Want Me to Release the Rest of It'
U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to release the full set of files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy if he is re-elected as President.
What Happened: During an appearance on the All-In podcast, Trump declared he would release the complete JFK assassination files if he wins the 2024 election. Trump suggested the CIA might have been involved in the assassination.
When questioned about his previous decision not to release all the files, Trump stated, “I actually did do it. I released a lot, as you know. But when it came to the whole thing, I was advised by some people who worked for me, great people that you would respect, and they asked me not to do it.” He added that he respected their judgment at the time but now intends to release everything.
In 2017, Trump authorized the release of 2,800 documents linked to the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy but retained others.
Trump in the podcast said, “Well, it wasn’t the CIA that asked me, but I think the CIA was probably behind it. They didn’t want me to release the rest of it, but we did release quite a bit.”
