() Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said Wednesday that previously hidden KGB files on President John F. Kennedy’s assassination will be released to the American public in the fall.
Luna told ’s “CUOMO” the Soviet intelligence files reportedly show the KGB observed Lee Harvey Oswald during his time in Russia and determined he was “not a good shot.”
Luna said multiple witnesses told the Warren Commission and other investigators that Oswald was not seen in the Texas School Book Depository, the location from which the fatal shots were allegedly fired.
Rep. Luna says CIA files prove cover-up in JFK assassination
The congresswoman, who is the chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said that newly released CIA documents provide evidence the agency engaged in a cover-up of Kennedy’s assassination and lied to Congress about its association with Oswald.
She said the “Joannides Files” released by the CIA under Director John Ratcliffe, reveal Oswald was in contact with and being observed by the CIA in the weeks leading up to Kennedy’s Nov. 22, 1963, assassination in Dallas.
“This was probably one of the biggest breaks in the JFK assassination in the last 60 years,” Luna said. “It disproves the lone gunman theory.”
The documents allegedly show that George Joannides, a CIA operative, used a cover name and lied to Congress while serving as a liaison between congressional investigations and the CIA. Luna said Joannides was later awarded by the CIA for intentionally stonewalling investigations into the assassination.
Luna cited witness testimony stating Kennedy was shot from both the front and back, indicating multiple shooters. She also claimed the Warren Commission omitted evidence from its investigation.
The assassination of Kennedy has been the subject of numerous investigations and conspiracy theories over the past six decades. The Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Oswald acted alone in killing the president.
