Trump Reveals Who He Thinks Killed JFK After Assassination Files Go Public

In a wide-ranging interview aboard Air Force One with Outkick founder Clay Travis, President Donald Trump addressed longstanding questions about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, acknowledging that while he believes Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter, he raised questions about possible accomplices.

“I do,” Trump replied when asked if he thought Oswald killed JFK. “And I’ve always felt that, but of course, was he helped?”

The comments follow the release of more than 2,000 pages of classified documents related to the Kennedy assassination, which Trump ordered made public. Despite decades of official conclusions that Oswald acted alone when he fired on Kennedy’s motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963, theories have persisted since the infamous shooting.

The Daily Mail reported that Oswald himself fueled speculation before his own death, telling police he was “just a patsy” after his arrest. He was shot and killed by Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963, further complicating the historical record.

While the Justice Department has maintained that Oswald acted independently, many Americans continue to speculate about potential involvement from various parties, including the U.S. government, organized crime figures, intelligence agencies or foreign powers like Cuba or Russia’s KGB.

“The papers have turned out to be somewhat unspectacular,” Trump told Travis, adding, “I don’t think there’s any that earth-shattering.” He noted that the public can form their own conclusions about the assassination based on the newly released information.

TTOA reported that the document release caught Trump’s national security team off guard, prompting a 24-hour scramble to assess potential security concerns before publication. Despite the president’s assessment of the documents as relatively unremarkable, researchers have uncovered several intriguing details.

One document references a passage from the left-wing political magazine Ramparts from June 1967, describing former Army Captain and CIA informant John Garrett Underhill Jr., who allegedly fled Washington the day after Kennedy’s assassination. 

The Daily Mail highlighted that according to the passage, Underhill confided to a friend that “a small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination” before he was found dead from a gunshot wound six months later, ruled a suicide.

Another document revealed that Soviet intelligence closely monitored Oswald during his time in the USSR. The files indicated that Oswald was considered “a poor shot” during target practice in the Soviet Union – a detail that raises questions about his ability to make the precise shots that killed Kennedy.

A letter from 1978 claimed that a man named Sergyj Czornonoh had warned British and American officials about Oswald’s plans to kill Kennedy months before the assassination occurred, the Daily Mail reported.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald highlighted a 15-page memo from Arthur Schlesinger, one of Kennedy’s top advisers, calling for the disbandment of the CIA and referring to it as “a state within a state” – language that resonates with Trump’s own criticisms of what he terms the “deep state.” However, experts note that crucial information remains withheld. 

The transcript of the first conversation between President Lyndon Johnson and CIA Director John McCone after the assassination has still not been released. This document could potentially address questions about Cuban involvement, particularly given Kennedy’s authorization of CIA plots to assassinate Fidel Castro.

The Daily Mail noted that Jefferson Morley, vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, stated that the release did not include two-thirds of the promised files, FBI records or IRS documents related to the case. Despite these omissions, he called the release “an encouraging start.”

Critics also point to the absence of any mention of investigative journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, who died mysteriously in 1965 while investigating potential Mafia connections to Kennedy’s assassination. Her evidence and notes reportedly vanished on the night of her death, which was ruled a suicide.

With several key documents still missing, the full truth behind one of America’s most traumatic political events remains elusive, even as the President suggests the possibility of conspiracy.
