Trump Promises Unveiling Of JFK Assassination Files Amid New Theories

A renowned John F. Kennedy assassination expert has proposed a stunning theory about CIA involvement, as former President Donald Trump vows to release classified documents if re-elected.

According to the Daily Mail, Jefferson Morley, a prominent JFK scholar, suggested that Kennedy's opponents within the CIA may have collaborated with Lee Harvey Oswald in the 1963 assassination.

At a recent rally in Arizona, Trump promised to establish a commission on assassination attempts and release all remaining documents related to JFK's death.

This pledge came as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., JFK's nephew, endorsed Trump after leaving the Democratic party. The former president's commitment to transparency has reignited interest in the long-standing mysteries surrounding one of America's most tragic events.

Expert Speculates On CIA's Potential Role

Morley, speaking to The Washington Post, emphasized that his theory isn't about finding a "smoking gun" but rather addressing the government's failure to comply with a 1992 law mandating the release of all JFK records by October 2017.

He noted that documents released so far have revealed some CIA employees doubted the lone gunman theory and that a counterintelligence official attempted to withhold information from the Warren Commission.

The expert's claims add fuel to decades of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's assassination. While the official narrative maintains that Oswald acted alone, many have questioned this conclusion, believing there may have been a broader conspiracy involving multiple parties.

Morley's statements highlight the ongoing public interest in uncovering the full truth about the events in Dallas on November 22, 1963. His expertise lends credibility to the idea that there may be more to the story than what has been officially acknowledged.

Trump's Promise And Previous Actions

Trump's recent pledge to release the remaining JFK files marks a renewed commitment to an issue he previously addressed during his presidency. In 2018, he announced that some documents would remain classified due to potential risks to national security, law enforcement, or foreign affairs.

The former president explained his previous decision, stating:

I actually did do it. I released a lot, as you know, but when it came to the whole thing, I was hit by some people that work for me, who are great people that you would respect. They asked me not to do it.

This explanation offers insight into the complex considerations involved in declassifying sensitive historical documents. If fulfilled, Trump's current promise could shed new light on one of America's most enduring mysteries.

Skepticism And Expectations

Despite Trump's assurances, some experts remain skeptical about the likelihood of full disclosure. Gerald Posner, author of the 1993 book "Case Closed" about the Kennedy assassination, pointed out that Trump had the opportunity to release the documents during his presidency but didn't follow through completely.

Posner suggested that the recent endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might serve as a "quid pro quo" that could motivate Trump to act on his promise this time.

However, he also speculated that the remaining documents might simply show that the CIA was aware of Oswald before the assassination rather than reveal any direct involvement in Kennedy's death.

Why This Story Matters

The ongoing debates and public interest in JFK's assassination are crucial as they reflect societal concerns over transparency, trust in government, and historical truth.

As these documents potentially contain significant insights into U.S. history, their release could contribute to a greater understanding of past governmental processes and decisions.

In conclusion, Trump's promise to release the remaining JFK assassination files not only revisits one of America's most mysterious chapters but also tests his administration's commitment to transparency.

Only time will tell if these documents will finally unveil the full story or if they will be withheld again under the guise of national security concerns, leaving the public still yearning for closure and truth about that day in Dallas.
