CIA Seizes JFK and MKUltra Files from DNI Tulsi Gabbard's Office
Reports indicate that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) removed files concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the MKUltra program from the office of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard. These documents were reportedly slated for declassification by Gabbard. While initial social media posts by Fox News host Jesse Watters and Representative Anna Paulina Luna described the incident as a raid on Gabbard’s office, DNI press secretary Olivia Coleman denied these claims, stating no raid occurred. Clarifications later emerged from NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich and Representative Luna, confirming that CIA personnel took the documents from the National Reconnaissance Office during the previous year's government shutdown, not in a recent raid. Despite the correction regarding the timeline and nature of the seizure, Luna demanded the return of the files within 24 hours, threatening a subpoena if the CIA failed to comply. Representative Lauren Boebert supported Luna’s stance, calling for accountability regarding who authorized the action. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between congressional oversight efforts and intelligence community handling of sensitive historical records.
