Donald Trump says he ‘always’ believed that former President John F. Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas.
He added that the gunman may have had some help.
Trump said this in a wide-ranging interview with Outkick founder Clay Travis onboard Air Force One on Saturday, after Travis asked the commander-in-chief whether he thinks Oswald killed JFK.
‘I do,’ Trump replied. ‘And I’ve always felt that, but of course, was he helped?’
DID OSWALD ACT ALONE?
The Justice Department has long maintained that Oswald, 24, acted alone when he opened fire on the presidential motorcade on November 22, 1963 from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.
But Oswald denied the claims, famously declaring to the police that he was ‘just a patsy,’ before he, too, was gunned down on November 24, 1963 – and to this day, many Americans believe Kennedy’s death was the result of a conspiracy.
QUESTION MARK ON THE HELP OSWALD HAD
Some have even claimed Oswald may have received assistance from either the US government, the Mafia, the CIA, the Cuban government or the Soviet Union’s KGB.
After decades of speculation, Trump ordered the federal government to release more than 2,000 pages of documents related to the Kennedy assassination.
On Tuesday, Trump released trove of top-secret files, including some typewritten reports and handwritten notes spanning decades.
Attached to the secret files were details from a top CIA agent who claimed the deep state was responsible, Oswald was a ‘poor shot’ and that the Secret Service had been warned Kennedy would be killed in August.
