Almost a year into his term, President Donald Trump promised to release all of the files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Obviously, that was a promise he didn’t keep.
Now, former Trump consultant and Fox News personality Judge Andrew Napolitano said the president had good reason for not following through with his commitment.
“After strict consultation with [Chief of Staff] General [John] Kelly, the CIA and other Agencies, I will be releasing ALL files other than the names and address of any mentioned person who is still living,” Trump posted to Twitter on Oct. 28, 2017.
“I am doing this of reasons of full disclosure, transparency and in order to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest,” he explained.

At about the same time, however, Reuters reported: “U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered the unveiling of 2,800 documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy but yielded to pressure from the FBI and CIA to block the release of other records to be reviewed further.”
Now, in a Wednesday appearance on “The Jim Hoft Show,” Napolitano has provided a glimpse into the president’s thinking on the subject.
