Trump Says That He ‘Thinks The CIA Was Probably Behind’ JFK’s Assassination

Donald Trump has reignited the long-standing debate around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and suggested that the CIA may have played a role in suppressing the release of crucial information related to the event. 

In a recent appearance on the All-In podcast, Trump revealed that while he was president, he had attempted to declassify and release files about the 1963 assassination but was met with resistance from within his administration.

Trump stated that he had released a significant amount of information but was met with resistance from individuals working for him who advised against the full release. “I actually did do it,” Trump said. “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 that are great people, that you would respect and they asked me not to do it.” 

The podcast hosts also touched on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is going up against Trump as an independent candidate in the presidential election, and his suggested belief that the CIA was linked to his uncle JFK’s death.

Over the years, the assassination has spawned numerous conspiracy theories, with many pointing the finger at various government agencies, including the CIA, as potentially being involved in the plot.

“This wasn’t CIA that asked me, but I think CIA was probably behind it. They would’ve preferred that I not release the rest of it,” he said about the files being released on the podcast.

He continued, “It’s gonna be done early on. A lot people want to see that, and whatever it may say, I won’t say, I sort of have an idea, but whatever it is, it’ll be very interesting for people to see, and we’re gonna have to learn from it.”

Trump added, “You know, there are other things we’re gonna release too.”

Similarly, Kennedy, nephew of late President John F. Kennedy, blames the CIA for his uncle’s assassination.
