Jack Schlossberg issued a harsh rebuke to Donald Trump after his order to declassify all remaining documents about the 1963 murder of Schlossberg’s grandfather, former President John F. Kennedy.
The last secret files about the assassination of Kennedy can now be published after President Trump on Thursday ordered the declassification of all remaining documents about the 1963 murder.
Schlossberg, JFK’s only grandson and a social media darling, took to X to furiously criticize the files’ release and the hype over the information finally coming out.
‘The truth is a lot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,’ Schlossberg wrote Thursday.
The liberal journalist and lawyer then criticized President Trump for using his grandfather’s death to score political points.
‘Not part of an inevitable grand scheme. Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it.’
Conspiracy theories – which is how Schlossberg labeled what those interested in the files wanted to find out about – continue to swirl 60 years after the killing.
Any new information will excite the amateur sleuths who continue to wonder whether there is more to the story than just a lone gunman in the shape of Lee Harvey Oswald.
