In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a startling revelation about the release of classified documents related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

According to Daily Fetched, RFK Jr. claimed that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had implored then-President Donald Trump not to declassify the remaining JFK assassination files.

The conversation between Carlson and Kennedy Jr. took place following Kennedy's endorsement of Trump for the upcoming election.

During the interview, they delved into the controversial topic of the CIA's alleged involvement in President Kennedy's assassination and the continued classification of related documents.

Kennedy's Assertion About Pompeo's Intervention

RFK Jr. recounted a recent conversation he had with former President Trump regarding the JFK assassination files.

According to Kennedy, Trump revealed that Mike Pompeo had personally appealed to him not to release the documents, describing it as potentially "catastrophic."

Kennedy stated, "He said that Mike Pompeo begged him to... I don't think I'm telling tales out of school here. No, I think he told the same thing to you." This claim suggests that high-ranking officials within the Trump administration actively worked to prevent the release of these sensitive documents.

Carlson corroborated Kennedy's statement, confirming that Trump had shared similar information with him.

The former Fox News host went further, expressing his personal view that Pompeo's actions were questionable, stating, "I want to say again, I think Mike Pompeo is a criminal, so that's my view."

CIA's Potential Involvement And Document Classification

The interview touched upon the longstanding suspicions surrounding the CIA's potential involvement in President Kennedy's assassination.

Carlson and Kennedy expressed bewilderment at the continued classification of documents more than six decades after the event.

Kennedy pointed out the peculiarity of the situation, saying:

More than 60 years after my uncle's death, It was 65 years. Oh, it was 62 years after his death. None of the people who were implicated in that crime are alive now. The last ones have died off in the last year or two. And so, it clearly is to protect the institution.

This statement highlights the growing skepticism about the reasons behind keeping these documents classified, especially given the significant passage of time since the assassination.

Bipartisan Reluctance To Declassify JFK Files

The conversation also shed light on the bipartisan nature of the reluctance to declassify these documents. Carlson noted that presidents from both major political parties have consistently kept the files classified over the past six decades.

Kennedy expressed his surprise at Trump's decision not to declassify the documents during his presidency, especially given Trump's campaign promise to do so. This revelation suggests that the pressure to maintain the classification of these documents extends beyond party lines and administrations.

RFK Jr. has been vocal about his belief in the CIA's involvement in both his uncle's and his father's assassinations. He has consistently called for the federal government to release all evidence related to these tragic events, arguing for transparency and closure for the American public.

In conclusion, the interview between Tucker Carlson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reignited discussions about the JFK assassination files. Kennedy's claim about Mike Pompeo's intervention with Trump adds a new layer to the ongoing debate about government transparency and the reasons behind keeping these documents classified.

The continued secrecy surrounding these files, decades after the event, raises questions about institutional protection and the full truth behind one of America's most tragic historical events.
