Call girl questioned about sex parties with ‘JFK, Sinatra’

As John F. Kennedy was running for president in 1960, the FBI learned about the then-senator’s alleged sex parties with A-list stars. 

Overnight, the federal government released nearly 3,000 documents related to the JFK assassination. 

Among them was the summary of an interview the FBI conduct with a ‘high-class Hollywood call girl’ in July 1960. 

The prostitute, Sue Young, spoke to agents about a recent conversation she had with a Los Angeles private detective, Fred Otash. 

She said Otash reached out to her and asked her about her ‘participation in sex parties’ with Kennedy, the actor Peter Lawford (Kennedy’s brother-in-law), Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. 

Young told Otash that she had ‘no knowledge of such activities’ and didn’t know any other call girls who ‘might have been present’ at any such parties. 

The next day, she said Otash called her back and asked if she could set up a meeting with Sen. Kennedy. 

‘He suggested that he would like to equip her with a recording device for taking down any “indiscreet statements” the Senator might make,’ the FBI memo reads.

Young said she refused. 

On that same day, agents spoke with Otash at his office and he told them that ‘some operator, unnamed and unidentified, was attempting to spy on Senator Kennedy’s hotel room.’

‘He inferred to the Agents that “Confidential” magazine is “looking for dirt on Kennedy or Lawford” for use in a series of articles planned for publication before the November election,’ the document reveals.

The White House released 2,891 documents related to JFK’s assassination that have long been kept secret.

But some are being held back by the president, who said he’s allowing intelligence, law enforcement and military agencies to take the next six months to justify their requests to redact specific pages.

A White House official told DailyMail.com during a conference call that while Trump wants to remove the ‘veil’ of secrecy regarding the 1963 killing, he has ‘no choice today but to accept those redactions rather than risk irreversible harm’ to the country.

‘There does remain sensitive information in the records,’ the official said, often ‘related to the identity of individuals involved, in their roles as informants.’

The official also said some edits would be made to hide ‘activities that were conducted with foreign partner agencies’. 

The documents also reveal the FBI warned Robert F. Kennedy about a book regarding his alleged affair with Marilyn Monroe.

The 11-page FBI document, categorized under ‘Miscellaneous Records of the Church Committee,’ contains multiple memos — including one from then FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to Kennedy himself — written during a two-week period in 1964, regarding Frank A. Capell’s book, ‘The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe.’

According to the memos, Capell — who lived on Staten Island, New York — had gone to the New York FBI field office on July 2, 1964, to alert them that he was writing the 70-page book, which would be published on July 10, 1964 and sell for $2.00 a copy.

In what appears to be Hoover’s memo to Kennedy, dated July 8, 1964, Hoover wrote that Capell had said he would ‘make reference to your alleged friendship with the late Miss Marilyn Monroe’ and that he intended to ‘indicate in his book that you and Miss Monroe were intimate and and that you were in Miss Monroe’s apartment at the time of her death.’

Monroe died on August 5, 1962 of a barbiturate overdose in her Los Angeles home — however, as one of the FBI memos indicated, the claim that Kennedy was with her was proven false, as Kennedy was in San Francisco with his wife at the time of Monroe’s death.

Capell’s book also claimed that ‘Miss Monroe’s involvement with Kennedy “was well known to her friends and reporters in the Hollywood area,” but was never publicized,’ an FBI agent reported.

The agent also wrote in the memo that, according to the book, ‘Miss Monroe “was led to believe his intentions were serious,” and that Kennedy had promised to divorce his wife and marry her.

‘When he failed to do so, the book charges, she “threatened to expose their relationship,” which would have ruined his presidential aspirations. It was then that Kennedy decided “to take drastic action.’

The ‘drastic action,’ according to Capell’s book, was that Kennedy ‘used “the Communist Conspiracy which is expert in the scientific elimination of its enemies” to dispose of Miss Monroe by making her murder appear to be a suicide.’

Achievable, apparently, because Monroe’s personal physician, Dr. Hyman Engelberg, ‘was a communist.’

Although the FBI memos seemed to be highly skeptical about the veracity of Capell’s claims, it is clear that Capell — and the book itself — were very much on their radar.

In one memo, Hoover instructed the Special Agent in Charge of the New York office to ‘follow this matter very closely. Furnish two copies of the book to the Bureau promptly upon publication in order that the Attorney General may be kept advised.’
