Trump’s promise to release JFK files sets off all-night scramble by DOJ’s National Security Division

The Justice Department’s National Security Division has been in a scramble trying to meet President Donald Trump’s promise on Monday to release declassified information from the JFK assassination investigation today.

Trump, during a visit Monday to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, announced the government would be releasing all the files on Kennedy’s assassination on Tuesday afternoon.

Less than half an hour after that announcement, the Justice Department’s office that handles foreign surveillance requests and other intelligence-related operations began to shift resources to focus on the task, sources said.

In an email just before 5 p.m. ET Monday, a senior official within DOJ’s Office of Intelligence said that even though the FBI had already conducted “an initial declassification review” of the documents, “all” of the attorneys in the operations section now had to provide “a second set of eyes” to help with this “urgent NSD-wide project.”

Eventually, however, it was other National Security Division attorneys who ended up having to help, sources said.

Attorneys from across the division were up throughout the night, into the early morning hours, each reading through as many as hundreds of pages of documents, sources said. Only prosecutors with an impending arrest or other imminent work did not have to help, sources said.

Trump says JFK files will be released Tuesday without redactions

President Donald Trump announced on Monday at the Kennedy Center that the files regarding former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination will be released on Tuesday without redactions.

“We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said. “So people have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people, put together by Tulsi Gabbard, and that’s going to be released tomorrow.”

The release will happen Tuesday afternoon, The Daily Wire reported.

“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, just don’t redact. You can’t redact,” Trump added. “But we’re going to be releasing the JFK files, and that would be tomorrow.”

“It’s approximately 80,000 pages,” he said. “So it’s a lot of stuff, and you’ll make your own determination.”

Trump said that the documents will be released without summaries so the public and media could drawn their own conclusions.

Trump says ALL JFK assassination files totaling over 80,000 pages will be released tomorrow

President Donald Trump told reporters that his administration will release 80,000 pages of unredacted JFK assassination files, terming the trove ‘interesting’ but giving little hint of what if anything it may add.

‘We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files… So people have been waiting for decades for this,’ Trump told reporters during a two-hour visit to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

‘That’s going to be released tomorrow. We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading.

‘I don’t believe we are are going to redact anything. I said just don’t redact. You can’t redact. But we’re going to be releasing the JFK files,’ Trump said. 

Trump spoke about releasing JFK files during his first campaign and term in office but thousands remained under seal. Then, he signed an executive order in January to declassify remaining files. 

He said they would come out ‘tomorrow afternoon.’

Asked if he had reviewed the document or would provide an executive summary, Trump allowed: ‘I’ve heard about them. It’s going to be very interesting.’ He said about 80,000 pages of material would come out. 

‘It’s a lot of stuff, and you’ll make your own determination,’ he said inside the Kennedy Center.

AG Pam Bondi Provides Update on Epstein Files, January 6, JFK, and MLK Assassination Documents

Attorney General Pam Bondi has promised again that the American people will finally receive long-awaited answers on the Epstein client list, the January 6th investigation, and the long-classified records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Pam Bondi is encountering growing impatience from MAGA supporters due to the absence of charges against prominent elites.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi made it clear that the government’s history of stonewalling crucial information is coming to an end under the new administration.

During the interview, Bartiromo pointed out that MAGA supporters are furious over the lack of transparency regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.

It can be recalled that the so-called “Epstein Files: Phase One” was a colossal disappointment — heavily redacted pages handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers.

Bondi had hyped the release on Fox News with Jesse Watters the night before, promising “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s depraved criminal network.

Conservatives braced for a bombshell that would finally unmask the elite swamp creatures tied to the notorious pedophile. Instead, they got a dud.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi confirmed that critical information has been withheld, and she is determined to get to the truth.

Sen. Tom Cotton Responds After Tucker Carlson Accuses Him of Working to Block Release of JFK Files

It’s Tucker Carlson versus Tom Cotton: And there’s not much room for misunderstanding.

The former Fox News host and popular podcaster used an interview Monday with former CNN host Chris Cuomo to make an incendiary claim about Cotton, the Republican senator from Arkansas.

And Cotton wasted no time in responding.

In his interview with Cuomo, Carlson claimed — without citing a source — that Cotton had used his post on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (Cotton is the committee’s chairman) to obstruct the hiring of an individual in an intelligence position because the individual would push for the release of files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

“In January there was a scramble over who’s gonna get what jobs in the new administration,” Carlson said, about the 44-minute mark in the video above.

“At one point there was someone who was being discussed for a job in the intel world, and a member of the SSCI, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Intel Committee, went to the people making the decision and said, ‘You cannot hire this person because this person will be certain to push for the release of the JFK files,’” Carlson said.

“So this is in — this is fact — this is in 2025, less than two months ago, and you have a sitting member of the United States Senate whose main goal is to keep those files secret. Then you have to ask yourself, ‘Why?’”

Carlson noted how much time has passed and how much information has come to light about covert activities since Kennedy was killed.

“If you’re telling me that six weeks ago, a member of the United States Senate was trying to keep someone out of a job in order to keep these files secret, that is to protect the CIA, I don’t believe that for a second.”

Carlson then asserted there continues to be a high-level conspiracy surrounding the Kennedy assassination.

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.
