In a bold move for truth and transparency, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the head of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has spotlighted intriguing revelations from the newly released documents on President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. These papers suggest that Kennedy had reached out to the Soviet Union to help tackle some rogue elements within the CIA before his tragic death.
The declassification of around 80,000 pages related to the 1963 assassination has reignited discussions over the mysterious circumstances of JFK’s demise.
The initial batch of declassified files features a 1967 memo from former U.S. Army intelligence officer Gary Underhill. Underhill claimed a “small clique within the CIA” played a role in Kennedy’s assassination. In a state of fear, Underhill fled Washington, D.C., the day after Kennedy was killed, voicing his belief that the CIA faction was tangled in illicit activities like gun-running and drug trafficking. He suspected Kennedy had uncovered these secrets and was silenced before he could expose them. Underhill met a suspicious end six months later, ruled a suicide by the coroner.
Newly released JFK files tell a story about how Gary Underhill, who worked for the CIA, was found dead after he revealed to friends that the CIA was responsible for JFK’s assassination.

Speaking with Benny Johnson, Rep. Luna emphasized how these newly uncovered JFK files hint at the former president seeking Russian support to identify rogue CIA agents just before his assassination in Dallas.
These revelations, according to Rep. Luna, confirm suspicions that the Warren Commission’s findings were a coordinated effort to shield the true culprits.
Benny Johnson: So this is something that I found particularly fascinating with these documents—that there is predictive programming inside multiple documents. Oswald will be killed in custody. Oswald will do the killing. “We will get JFK one way or another.” There are various entities—whether it’s the state of Israel, Cuba, or Russia—that are interested in the killing of JFK. And there seems to be, if anything, an environment of allowance, perhaps, with the CIA for this to happen.
I’m wondering—one, if your takeaway is that there isn’t a smoking gun. The document doesn’t say, “Actually, CIA agent 123-6571, he’s the one who pulled the trigger.” But what you’re seeing here is a mosaic that’s created: “Here are all the enemies of JFK. We know their intentions are to hurt JFK, and we’re going to send him traveling at a very slow speed right through downtown, with skyscrapers in the back of an open-air limousine.”
Rep. Anna Paulina: Well, also, if I could just point out—you actually have the document up right now that admits Dr. King is going to be killed as well.
What I’m finding is confirmation of many people’s concerns—that, at the time, intelligence agencies were operating in the shadows and, as you saw, were a rogue entity. When I made that first admission, Benny, saying that I believe there were multiple shooters, I actually got calls from people saying, “Where are you finding this evidence? You haven’t seen the documents yet.” I said, “I’m going based on witness testimony.”
I’m not just talking about one or two or three witnesses here. We’re talking about upwards of 15-plus witnesses—not to mention that the Warren Commission, which was initially set up by Congress to investigate the assassination of JFK, knowingly omitted information that would have been considered evidence.
So, I’m not a criminal investigator, but I can put two and two together. What I can tell you is that when you have a congressional committee failing to admit evidence and, in addition, creating a narrative—which we now know, with modern technology and witness testimony, was faulty—the “magic bullet” theory collapses.
The fact is, we have basically everything we could have ever imagined—wanted and more. We are going to be able to answer those questions.
But again, Benny, looking back at what happened, I also found in one of the documents yesterday—as I was going through this with the American people, and you saw in real-time, all these bombshells coming out on X—that JFK allegedly asked the leader of Russia for information on rogue CIA agents. Isn’t it interesting that he was inquiring about this and then, obviously, he ends up assassinated?
Look, we have a lot to go through. There are thousands upon thousands of documents, but we are targeting 20 key documents that, through working with our team and experts who have studied the JFK assassination for decades, we believe can provide a better picture and context for the American people.
I hope that the hearing we have on the second will at least help reset the historical narrative on John F. Kennedy with the facts—and then let the American people decide.
Anna Paulina Luna reveals the recent release of JFK files shows he was probing Russia about rogue CIA agents just before his assassination: “JFK asked the leader of Russia for info about Rogue CIA agents… and then ends up Assassinated. We are going after 20 key documents.”
