Secret Service agent Clint Hill, who leaped onto JFK’s car after the president was shot, dead at 93

Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent who leaped onto the back of President John F. Kennedy’s limousine after the president was shot, then was forced to retire early because he remained haunted by memories of the assassination, has died. He was 93.

Hill died Friday at his home in Belvedere, California, according to his publisher, Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. A cause of death was not given.

Although few may recognize his name, the footage of Hill, captured on Abraham Zapruder’s chilling home movie of the assassination, provided some of the most indelible images of Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

JFK assassination task force to reveal findings on UFOs, Area 51 and pledges Americans will get ‘the truth’

A top Republican lawmaker overseeing DOGE’s sweeping changes in Congress has vowed that Americans will soon get ‘the truth’ about UFOs and what secrets are hidden at Area 51. 

House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-K.Y., this month created a task force to unveil long-kept government secrets of massive public interest. 

His group is a direct response to Donald Trump’s executive order to declassify secrets like the JFK assassination files, intelligence on Martin Luther King Jr.’s murder, and also the killing of Robert Kennedy. 

Trump has also pushed for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein‘s death in prison and information on UFOs, also called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

During the roll out of the new task force earlier this month its leader Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, standing next to Comer, said the group will uncover files on JFK’s assassination – which she believes involved multiple shooters – and UAP.

Speaking with Daily Mail’s podcast Welcome to MAGAland at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week, Comer, for the first time, committed to investigating and – possibly releasing – files on Area 51 as a part of Trump’s new mandate.

‘I don’t think the government’s been 100 percent truthful with the American people about what may or may not exist out there, especially in Area 51,’ Comer said in an exclusive interview, which was previewed on Daily Mail’s podcast Welcome to MAGAland.

MAGA head of JFK files task force claims there were TWO shooters and pledges to uncover more secrets

MAGA star Anna Paulina Luna has made a jaw-dropping claim that there were ‘two shooters’ in the JFK assassination.

Luna made clear her belief in a second shooter as she launched a new task force that will expose some of the government’s most scintillating secrets. 

She and her team will declassify highly sought after documents about JFK’s murder, and also files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

In doing so the congresswoman dropped a bombshell about her own thoughts regarding JFK’s shooting by assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.

‘I believe that there were two shooters, and we should be finding more information as we are able to,’ she said.

Luna will also push to expose what the U.S. government knows about UFOs, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

Secret documents about the origins of COVID-19 and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack could all soon be revealed, Luna shared.

The Florida Republican added that her investigation into JFK’s assassination will be more comprehensive than past efforts.

‘In previous investigations, they didn’t have access to the information that we are going to have access to, and so that’s a big deal, especially if you’re looking at what truly happened with JFK,’ the 35-year-old continued.

FBI finds secret JFK assassination records after Trump order

The FBI just discovered about 2,400 records tied to President Kennedy’s assassination that were never provided to a board tasked with reviewing and disclosing the documents, Axios has learned.

  • The still-secret records are contained in 14,000 pages of documents the FBI found in a review triggered by President Trump‘s Jan. 23 executive order demanding the release of all JFK assassination records.

Why it matters: The discovery — 61 years after Kennedy was killed in Dallas — follows decades of government reluctance to release all documents related to the assassination, which fueled a mountain of conspiracy theories.

  • The existence of the new documents was disclosed Friday to the White House, when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its plan to disclose the assassination records under Trump’s order.

Zoom in: The contents of the newly found records are closely held secrets. The three sources who relayed their existence to Axios said they hadn’t seen the documents.

  • But the discovery of thousands of records on one of the most scrutinized events in U.S. history is likely to raise questions about the procedures for vetting and releasing information across the entire government.
  • “This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” said Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination and vice president of the nonpartisan Mary Ferrell Foundation, the nation’s largest source of online records of Kennedy’s killing. He sued the U.S. government for more records.
  • “The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going,” Morley said.

Reality check: The remaining records to be disclosed — as well as the newly discovered tranche of 2,400 reports — are unlikely to definitively prove whether Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone-wolf assassin or was part of a broader conspiracy, experts say.

Long Awaited JFK Files Could Be Released Soon

The Director of National Intelligence and the U.S. Attorney General have until Feb. 7 to present a full disclosure plan for the records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, according to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 23.

“I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest, and the release of these records is long overdue,” Trump wrote in the order.

Since Kennedy was shot in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, some have speculated about what the government knows, and the slow release of documents has only heightened suspicions, according to those calling for declassification.

According to the National Archives, more than 5 million documents, photographs, and other artifacts related to the assassination are in the government’s possession.

Approximately 99 percent of the records are available for the public to review, although around 5,000 documents remain sealed or redacted.

Some have additionally questioned the official narratives regarding the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.. The order also calls for King’s records to be released—with the plans due by early March.

“Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth,” Trump’s order states. “It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.”

While signing the executive order, Trump said, “People are waiting for this for years, for decades, and everything will be revealed.”

He instructed his staff to hand the pen he used to sign the order to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—the nephew of the deceased president and the son of the slain former senator.

RFK Jr. has long criticized the government for concealing documents and has suggested the Central Intelligence Agency may have played a role in his uncle’s death.

Who Killed JFK? What Trump Document Release Could Reveal 

President Donald Trump has promised to release the remaining classified documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, once again stirring public interest in one of the most debated events in American history.

Speaking at his Sunday rally in Washington, D.C., Trump declared, “In the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.“

This announcement comes more than 61 years after Kennedy’s death, an event that continues to captivate the public and fuel widespread conspiracy theories.

A poll released in 2022 showed approximately half the country believed there was a larger conspiracy involved in the president’s murder, rather than the official narrative of a lone gunman.

Kennedy clan at war over release of long-secret JFK files: Here’s who’s on which side

The Kennedy clan is warring again — this time over the release of the feds’ classified files on President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg accused the commander-in-chief of using his grandfather as a “political prop” in an X post made right after President Trump announced Thursday he was releasing the secret documents.

“JFK conspiracy theories — The truth is a lot sadder than the myth – a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,” wrote the 32-year-old Schlossberg, who has been known for oddball tweets in the past.

“Not part of an inevitable grand scheme,’’ he said. “Declassification is using JFK as a political prop when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it.”

But Schlossberg’s cousin and JFK’s nephew, Trump ally Robert F. Kennedy Jr., balked at the assertion and hailed the president’s move.

“I’m very grateful to President Trump,’’ RFK Jr. told reporters, referring to the files’ upcoming release, while on Capitol Hill on Thursday prepping for his confirmation hearings as Trump’s controversial nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services.

Robert Kennedy Jr. Praises President Trump’s Order to Declassify RFK, JFK, and MLK Assassination Records 

In May 2023, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed Robert Kennedy, Jr. During our discussion RFK Jr. discussed his father’s assassination in depth. He also discussed his uncle’s assassination.

Robert has spent decades studying the assassinations that were life-changing events during his early years.

Robert Jr. told The Gateway Pundit that his father’s initial impulse was to call the CIA and ask about their involvement.

Robert was picked up early from school and made it home around the same time the CIA Director had arrived at his home.

The transcript from our discussion is published below.

On Thursday MSNBC asked Robert Kennedy, Jr. on his reaction to the news that President Trump was declassifying the Robert Kennedy, John Kennedy, and Martin Luther King assassination records.

Robert Kennedy cheered President Trump for keeping his promises.

NBC Anchor: Do you think is was the right move to declassify the documents?

Robert Kennedy Jr.: I think it’s a great move because we need more transparency in our government. And, he’s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything.

JFK’s grandson issues stern message to Trump after decision to release classified Kennedy assassination files

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.
