Crucial information was missing from the JFK assassination files released by the Trump administration on Tuesday, according to an expert.
The transcript of the first conversation between president Lyndon Johnson and CIA Director John McCone after the 1963 assassination has still not been released to the public, author James Johnston told USA Today.
The document could help answer questions about any possible involvement from Cuba in the Kennedy’s killing, since the president had famously tried to use the CIA to kill communist dictator Fidel Castro.
McCone has previously been accused of keeping ‘incendiary’ information from the Warren Commission that probed the assassination, as reported by Politico.
The sensitive information revolved around the existence of plots to assassinate Castro, which put the CIA ‘in cahoots with the mafia.’
Without this information, the Warren Commission never looked at whether Oswald could have had accomplices in Cuba or elsewhere who wanted JFK dead as retaliation for trying to kill Castro.
