Trump admin releases long awaited files on JFK, RFK, MLK assassinations

The Trump administration released more than 80,000 documents today about the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The move is a result of an executive order Trump signed after being sworn in.
The Trump administration has released what it is calling “all of the files” the government has in its possession related to the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
The documents were made available on Tuesday through the National Archives. “In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released,” it was announced.
Trump had announced Monday while at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., that the files would be released the following day.
“I am a man of my word,” he said, referring to his campaign promise to provide transparency on the matter.
Trump was at the center overseeing a board meeting. He has overhauled the organization during his first few weeks as president so it will host patriotic and pro-Christian events.
More than 80,000 documents were released. The move is a result of an executive order Trump signed just days after being sworn in on January 20. The order directed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to prepare a plan for the files’ release.
GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida announced in March the launch of a website that contains the new files. Click here to access it. Luna was tapped by the Trump administration to act as the head of a “task force” to oversee their rollout. She previously stated she believes there were “two shooters” of President Kennedy.
The contents of the files have been subject to speculation for decades following Kennedy’s death in November 1963. Various theories have been floated as to whether they would reveal who was motivated enough and who had the ability to carry out the attack.
Polls show most Americans do not believe the Warren Commission’s claim that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Alternative theories that have gained traction are that multiple shooters were strategically placed on top of several buildings in Dealey Plaza and that one on the “grassy knoll” in front of Kennedy to his right fired at him too.
The files released today also contain information about the 1968 assassination of Kennedy’s brother Robert Fr. Kennedy and activist Martin Luther King Jr.
Tucker Carlson discussed the files with former CNN host Chris Cuomo earlier this month.
“There’s clearly information in those files that are going to make the CIA look bad,” Cuomo argued.
“Just the CIA?” Carlson cryptically shot back, insinuating other entities may also be implicated.
In a podcast released in January, Carlson and ex-Washington Post reporter Jeffrey Morley noted that Trump’s former CIA chief Mike Pompeo, an outspoken Zionist, urged him to squash the release of the files in 2017. Congress had voted in 1992 to have the files made public in 2017.
At the end of their conversion, Carlson and Morley discussed the lesser-known fact that Kennedy was adamant about having inspections of Israel’s Dimona nuclear power plant. They also recalled how Kennedy was seeking to have the American Zionist Council (later the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) register as a foreign entity.
Whether the files reveal a connection to the Israeli government will be more readily known once their contents are more thoroughly investigated.
Morley has taken to social media in recent weeks to explain how people can search the archived files related to Kennedy’s assassination. He has recommended they use the JFK Database Explorer here.
Morley explains out on his Substack page that the National Archives has more than 3,800 records related to JFK on hand and that the FBI recently sent 2,400 additional files to the Archives for future release. He also notes that there are more than 319,000 documents comprising an estimated three million pages of material at the Archives II facility in College Park, Maryland.

Elon Musk forms America Party after split with Trump

Quick Hit:
Elon Musk announced Saturday he is forming the “America Party,” claiming it will challenge what he calls the “one-party system” in Washington. The move follows his public split with President Trump and appears aimed at targeting Republicans who supported the president’s domestic agenda.
Key Details:
- Musk announced the America Party on X, declaring that Americans are living under a “one-party system” and need a new political alternative.
- The launch followed his criticism of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
- On Independence Day, Musk posted a poll asking if Americans wanted “independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system,” which he cited as support for forming the party.
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!
When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.
Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

Diving Deeper:
Elon Musk formally announced the launch of his new political outfit — the “America Party” — on Saturday, marking a new chapter in his increasingly public clash with Republican leadership.
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk wrote on his platform, X. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
The announcement comes as tensions between Musk and President Trump have escalated. While Musk previously worked closely with the administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, the relationship has deteriorated in the wake of Trump’s push for the One Big Beautiful Bill, a major domestic package that Musk now openly criticizes.
In a series of recent posts, Musk vowed to help primary Republican lawmakers who backed the bill. “They will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he posted earlier this week.
He’s offered few specifics beyond that, other than suggesting the party will “laser-focus” on a handful of Senate and House races in 2026. So far, there’s been no indication of a formal party structure, candidate recruitment, or funding plan.
Critics were quick to compare Musk’s move to Ross Perot’s 1992 presidential bid, which many credit with splitting the conservative vote and aiding Bill Clinton’s election. “You are pulling a Ross Perot, and I don’t like it,” one user reportedly responded on X.
Meanwhile, Trump has reportedly explored options to retaliate. According to multiple reports, the president has discussed whether to revoke federal contracts connected to Musk’s companies and even floated questions about his citizenship. “We’ll have to take a look,” Trump told reporters when asked directly.
While it’s too early to tell whether the America Party will amount to more than a personal platform, the political message is clear: Musk is now openly working against Republicans he once aligned with, and doing so under his own banner.

CBS settles with Trump over doctored 60 Minutes Harris interview

CBS will pay Donald Trump more than $30 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2024 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The deal also includes a new rule requiring unedited transcripts of future candidate interviews.
Key Details:
- Trump will receive $16 million immediately to cover legal costs, with remaining funds earmarked for pro-conservative messaging and future causes, including his presidential library.
- CBS agreed to release full, unedited transcripts of all future presidential candidate interviews—a policy insiders are calling the “Trump Rule.”
- Trump’s lawsuit accused CBS of deceptively editing a 60 Minutes interview with Harris in 2024 to protect her ahead of the election; the FCC later obtained the full transcript after a complaint was filed.

Diving Deeper:
CBS and Paramount Global have agreed to pay President Donald Trump more than $30 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2024 60 Minutes interview with then–Vice President Kamala Harris, Fox News Digital reported Tuesday. Trump accused the network of election interference, saying CBS selectively edited Harris to shield her from backlash in the final stretch of the campaign.
The settlement includes a $16 million upfront payment to cover legal expenses and other discretionary uses, including funding for Trump’s future presidential library. Additional funds—expected to push the total package well above $30 million—will support conservative-aligned messaging such as advertisements and public service announcements.
As part of the deal, CBS also agreed to a new editorial policy mandating the public release of full, unedited transcripts of any future interviews with presidential candidates. The internal nickname for the new rule is reportedly the “Trump Rule.”
Trump initially sought $20 billion in damages, citing a Face the Nation preview that aired Harris’s rambling response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That portion of the interview was widely mocked. A more polished answer was aired separately during a primetime 60 Minutes special, prompting allegations that CBS intentionally split Harris’s answer to minimize political fallout.
The FCC later ordered CBS to release the full transcript and raw footage after a complaint was filed. The materials confirmed that both versions came from the same response—cut in half across different broadcasts.
CBS denied wrongdoing but the fallout rocked the network. 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens resigned in April after losing control over editorial decisions. CBS News President Wendy McMahon also stepped down in May, saying the company’s direction no longer aligned with her own.
Several CBS veterans strongly opposed any settlement. “The unanimous view at 60 Minutes is that there should be no settlement, and no money paid, because the lawsuit is complete bulls***,” one producer told Fox News Digital. Correspondent Scott Pelley had warned that settling would be “very damaging” to the network’s reputation.
The final agreement includes no admission of guilt and no direct personal payment to Trump—but it locks in a substantial cash payout and forces a new standard for transparency in how networks handle presidential interviews.
