CIA accused of 'noncooperative attitude' with release of JFK files


() At a House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets hearing, the CIA was accused of obstructing the investigation into President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

At Tuesday’s hearing, Don Curtis, who was a doctor present at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas where Kennedy was taken, said he saw three gunshot wounds on the president, while the government said he died from one gunshot wound.

Journalist and author Jefferson Morley joined ‘s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” to discuss the hearing. He said the CIA is still obstructing the evidence to this day by not giving requested files to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., and not having the files ready for the hearing at an appropriate time. He believes they would likely never produce the files.

“How do they explain the fact that they are withholding the records to this day?” Morley said. “That alone is a noncooperative attitude towards the president’s order.”

Morley said it is also consistent with what the witnesses said about being treated rudely by the government in its investigation into Kennedy’s assassination and that people were being intimidated about coming forward. He said more of that information should come to light.

“Now the ball is in the court of the Trump administration and the CIA,” Morley said.
