Trump Pledges To Release JFK Assassination Files if Reelected

By -

Former President Donald Trump has promised to release all the remaining files related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination if he wins the presidential election in November. 

During an episode of the "All-In" podcast released on Thursday, Trump confidently stated, "This time I'm just going to do it."

Co-host Chamath Palihapitiya asked Trump what was in the JFK files that he chose not to release during his first term. Trump revealed that he had been advised to keep some information secret and suggested that the CIA might have been behind this advice.

"Well, it wasn't the CIA that directly asked me, but I believe the CIA was probably involved," Trump said. "They preferred that I not release the rest of it."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running against Trump and President Joe Biden as an independent presidential candidate, has also suggested that the CIA was involved in his uncle's assassination. The podcast hosts brought up RFK Jr.'s claims when discussing the CIA with Trump.

As president, Trump had pledged to release the Kennedy files but announced in April 2018 that the public would need to wait several more years due to the potential harm to national security, law enforcement, or foreign affairs, which he claimed outweighed the public interest in immediate disclosure. In that same month, the National Archives released about 19,000 records.

"I actually did release a lot of information," Trump recalled. "But when it came to the remaining files, I was advised by some highly respected people who worked for me not to release them."

Trump recounted asking, "Why? Tell me why?" and being told, "Sir, I think it needs a little more time." He respected their advice and held back some files, but he pledged that if reelected, he would release the rest.

"It's going to be done early on," he promised. "A lot of people want to see that, and whatever it may say - I have an idea - but whatever it is, it will be very interesting for people to see, and we're going to have to learn from it."

As the conversation shifted to other topics, Trump interjected, "There are other things we're going to release too. We'll talk to you about it off-camera," he teased, adding a layer of intrigue to his promise.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
