Published 5 February, 2025|President Trump is vowing to declassify the remaining files on John F. Kennedy’s assassination more than six decades after his death. What might they show?

Ross Coulthart sits down with “Last Second in Dallas” author Josiah Thompson to dive deep into his theory on the assassination and break down the evidence, including official findings from the Warren Commission, eyewitness accounts, and the Zapruder film. Thompson says he believes the files President Trump is set to release could reveal the whole story.
