Gregg Jarrett on the secret JFK assassination files: What is the government hiding?
By Laura Carrione
Published August 09, 2021
Many unanswered questions remain about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963. In the decades since, conspiracy theories and speculation of all kinds have surfaced, adding to the swell of allure surrounding the single event that changed - and continues to mystify - the country.
Now, nearly 60 years later, Fox Nation is revisiting that tragic day in Dallas, as calls grow for the government to release all of their secret files.
Fox News legal analyst and host of ‘JFK: The Conspiracy Continues’ Gregg Jarrett joined ‘Fox & Friends’ Monday, telling co-host Will Cain that the government is to blame for the skepticism — asserting that most Americans don't believe the beloved 35th U.S. president was shot and killed by a lone gunman.
"The government, to this day, continues to hide thousands of assassination records," said Jarrett, who noted that, by law, President Biden has until October 26th of this year to release those documents.

Cain asked the legal analyst why the FBI and the CIA have been actively working to keep these files secret, to which Jarrett replied by taking jabs at both organizations:
"The fact that they have worked sedulously and secretly behind the scenes to stop these documents from being released to the American public invites the question, what are they hiding?"
"Americans are entitled to the truth of this," asserted Jarrett.
The truth, though, has perplexed Americans from the very beginning.

Almost immediately after the Warren Commission in 1964 ruled that Lee Harvey Oswald had been the lone gunman, conspiracy theories began to circulate over whether or not he had been the only shooter and if the CIA had been involved in the Kennedy assassination.
But before authorities were able to fully question Oswald, the former U.S. Marine was shot and killed on Nov. 24, 1963, by Texas nightclub owner Jack Ruby – adding more fuel to the speculative fire that the U.S. government was hiding what it knew about the assassination.

"Back in 1992, Congress passed a law, signed by then-President George H. W. Bush, that these documents are to be released in 25 years," said Jarrett. "In 2017, 25 years was up. To his credit, President Trump released thousands of documents."
"There are some surprising results and information in those documents," he continued. "But, thousands more are yet to be released. Trump set the date October 26th of this year for the President to release the rest of them. He's not President, Biden is," Jarrett stressed, before noting he's skeptical the current president has the ‘courage’ to ‘do the right thing' and release the files.
Now, with the help of award-winning director Oliver Stone, Jarrett's four-part deep-dive takes matters into its own hands, striving to give the American people the whole story. Sign up on Fox Nation to begin watching the docuseries today.
