RFK Jr. reveals Republican who told Donald Trump NOT to release the files on his uncle JFK’s assassination

Donald Trump vowed to release the remaining files on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy if he is elected president for a second term.

The ex-president previously said he would declassify the documents, but was urged not to by one of his senior cabinet members, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

It now seems that Trump had a change of heart after an assassin made a failed attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot Trump’s right ear. He was taken out by the Secret Service, but not before he killed a supporter and critically injured two others in the crowd that day.

Like the murder of Kennedy’s uncle, conspiracy theories are on the rise claiming that Crooks did not act alone and may have been involved with a foreign entity like Iran or Pakistan.

RFK Jr. revealed that Trump-era Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was the one who persuaded Trump not to release the files.

The independent presidential candidate suspended his campaign in the 10 most competitive states and endorsed Trump last week, the Republican nominee pledged to make public all documents related to the 1963 assassination of Kennedy’s uncle.

‘I was astonished that Trump didn’t declassify them because he promised it during the campaign,’ Kennedy said during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

‘I talked to President Trump for the first time about that this week,’ he continued. ‘He said that Mike Pompeo begged him… called him and said, this would be a catastrophe to release these.’

During the interview, the former Fox News host called Pompeo a ‘criminal.’

Trump said at a Friday evening rally near Phoenix with the Democrat-turned-independent: ‘This is a tribute in honor of Bobby,’

‘I will establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts, and they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.’

The commission created to investigate JFK’s death concluded that shooter Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he killed the president in Dallas, Texas.

But in the wake of JFK’s assassination in 1963 and in the decades after his death, several documents were withheld from the public, which sparked conspiracy theories that are still circulating today.

Some question whether Oswald worked with foreign entities like Soviets or Cubans – or even conspired with U.S. CIA agents.

RFK Jr. said last year he thinks the CIA was involved in his uncle’s murder.

And now, Rep. Mike Waltz raised doubts over whether Crooks acted alone in his attempt on Trump’s life last month.

The Florida congressman told DailyMail.com that there’s no way the FBI and Secret Service can confidently say the 20-year-old was a lone wolf when they still don’t know his motive for going after the ex-president.

Waltz is on the House task force investigating the assassination attempt.

Fellow task force member Democratic Rep. Jason Crowe (Colo.) said during a press conference in Butler, Pennsylvania on Monday that there isn’t enough evidence to suggest foreign entities were involved one way or the other.

Soon after Crooks shot Trump, it was revealed that Iran was also plotting an assassination attempt on the Republican presidential nominee.

Conspiracies have swirled for decades claiming JFK’s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was not a lone actor and was working with Soviets or Cubans – or even the U.S. CIA
