Former President Donald Trump has stated that he will make all documents pertaining to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy public if reelected in 2024. This comment is in reaction to statements made by Democratic Party challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who claimed that there is strong evidence linking the CIA to his uncle’s death.
Trump refused to address any specific issues raised by the JFK records in an interview with The Messenger, but he did promise to make the remaining materials public early in his second term if reelected.
Trump made the announcement in an interview with The Messenger on Monday, saying, “I released a lot, as you know. And I will release everything else.”
Thousands more JFK files were released during Trump’s first term, however some were delayed owing to concerns from the FBI and CIA. The 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which set 2017 as the deadline for the disclosure of all secret information pertaining to Kennedy’s assassination, served as the impetus for this move.
Trump cited national security concerns in 2018, delaying the complete publication of the materials until October 2021. Due of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Joe Biden later decided to push it back to December 2022.

Notably, Tucker Carlson, a journalist formerly with Fox News, reported having spoken to an individual with direct knowledge of JFK’s assassination. When asked about CIA involvement, the source replied affirmatively, stating, “The answer is yes. I believe they were involved. It’s a whole different country from what 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 not yet being fully released.
Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963, in Dallas. Over the past 60 years, concerns have remained despite the fact that an investigation determined Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The government’s official portrayal of Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone shooter in the JFK assassination has come under fire from numerous hypotheses. A 1979 House committee investigation raised the possibility of several shooters, whereas the Warren Commission investigation backed the lone actor theory.
Jim Garrison, a district attorney in Louisiana, investigated the shooting and wrote books about it, which served as the basis for Oliver Stone’s “JFK.” On its website, the CIA posts a research that contends Garrison’s charges might be the result of a disinformation campaign supported by the Soviet Union.
Tucker Carlson, in one of his blockbuster monologues before leaving his Fox News show, shares the hidden history of the JFK assassination and its potential connection to the removal of Richard Nixon as president.
“So, if you want to understand, if you really want to understand how the American government actually 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 popular president in American history was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon. Yet somehow, without a single vote being cast by a single American voter, Richard Nixon was kicked out of office and replaced by the only unelected president in American history,” Carlson said. “So, we went for the most popular president to a president nobody voted for. Wait a minute, you may ask, why didn’t I know that? Wasn’t Richard Nixon a criminal?”
“Wasn’t he despised by all decent people? No, he wasn’t. In fact, if any president could claim to be the people’s choice, it was Richard Nixon,” he continued. “Richard Nixon was re-elected in 1972 by the largest margin of the popular vote ever recorded before or since. Nixon got 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 called Gerald Ford took over the White House.”
“How did that happen?” he added. “Well, it’s a long story, but here are the highlights and they tell you a lot. Richard Nixon believes that elements in the federal bureaucracy were working to undermine the American system of government and had been doing that for a long time. He often said that. He was absolutely right. On June 23, 1972, Nixon met with the then–CIA director, Richard Helms, at the White House. During the conversation, which thankfully was tape-recorded, Nixon suggested he knew “who shot John,” meaning President John F. Kennedy. Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy’s assassination, which we now know it was. Helms’s telling response? Total silence, but for Nixon, it didn’t matter because it was already over. Four days before, 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 unreported by The Washington Post, four of the five burglars worked for the CIA,” he said. “The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old metro reporter called Bob Woodward. Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Well, he wasn’t a journalist. Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever 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 top-secret clearance,” Tucker went on. “He worked regularly with the intel agencies. At times, Woodward was even detailed to the Nixon White House, where he interacted with Richard Nixon’s top aides. Soon 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 crystal clear what was actually happening, Woodward’s main source for his Watergate series was the deputy director of the FBI, Mark Felt, and Mark Felt ran — and we’re not making this up — the FBI’s COINTELPRO program, which was designed to secretly discredit political actors, the federal agencies wanted to destroy — people like Richard Nixon. And at the same time, those same agencies were also working to take down Nixon’s elected vice president, 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 called Gerald Ford.”
“What was Ford’s qualification for the job?” he asked. “Well, he had served on the Warren Commission, which absolved the CIA of responsibility for President Kennedy’s murder.”
Although Biden has made several batches of JFK records available, detractors claim that many documents are still secret. The Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, according to a lawsuit brought by the nonprofit Mary Ferrell Foundation against Biden and the National Archives and Records Administration in 2017.
Approximately 95% of the CIA records in the JFK assassination records collection have so far been made public, according to a CNN report.
