Donald Trump revealed his belief that JFK was assassinated by the CIA in 1963. While he released most of the files during his Presidency, he alleged that government officials pressured him to keep some of them a secret. America’s News Desk says:
Former President Donald Trump casually stated on Thursday that the CIA “was probably behind” former President John F. Kennedy’s killing after revealing that he was urged not to release JFK-related information during his first term as president.
