Ex-CIA agent spoke about the similar situation of Trump and John F. Kennedy
US President Donald Trump is similar to former head of state John F. Kennedy in his reformist approach. On March 21, Mike Harris, an ex-agent of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), told Izvestia.
"The CIA had its own reasons for wanting to kill Kennedy because he resisted the escalation of the Vietnam War. So many people had many reasons to wish him dead. You know, I look at Donald Trump and see him in a similar situation," he shared.
The former CIA agent emphasized that the similarity between Trump and Kennedy lies in their reform approach. According to him, the entire infrastructure hates reformers because it seeks to protect everything that was built earlier.
"Kennedy was making very strategic changes in the U.S. government. His famous quote about how the CIA would be broken up into a thousand parts, he then saw how the CIA influenced US foreign policy, pushing aside the US State Department and presidential directives," Harris added.
He called former US Vice President Lyndon Johnson the obvious beneficiary of the Kennedy assassination. However, Harris clarified that there is no complete picture of the circumstances. He stressed that the published documents demonstrate that the former US president was a clear target.
Among other things, Harris emphasized that former Marine Lee Harvey Oswald, who killed Kennedy, was a CIA agent. According to him, this "does not speak in favor" of management.
On March 19, the US National Archives, by order of Trump, published declassified documents about the assassination of Kennedy, his brother, politician Robert, and black rights activist Martin Luther King. The collection consists of more than 6 million pages of recordings, photographs, films, sound recordings and artifacts.
In turn, the grandson of the deceased president, Jack Schlossberg, criticized the American media for covering declassified documents about the murder of his grandfather in 1963. According to him, the Trump administration did not warn the Kennedy family about the publication of the materials. At the same time, he noted that the nephew of the assassinated president, Robert Kennedy Jr., who holds the post of head of the US Department of Health, knew about these plans.
