Donald Trump frustrated by JFK files continuing secrecy: Determined to release ALL files - Duration: 6:47.
Donald Trump frustrated by JFK files continuing secrecy: Determined to release ALL files
President Donald Trump, the one man able to block the release, did not intend to make this easy.
Like much else surrounding investigations of the November 1963 killing of President , Thursday's release of 2,800 records from the JFK files was anything but smooth.
It came together only at the last minute, with White House lawyers still fielding late-arriving requests for additional redactions in the morning and an irritated President Trump continuing to resist signing off on the request, according to an account by two White House officials.
The tale of the final hours before the congressionally mandated 25-year release deadline adds a new chapter to the story of President Trumps troubled relationship with his spy agencies. .
He again flashed his skepticism and unpredictability in dealing with agencies long accustomed to a level of deference. And those officials had their own story tell, some rejecting the notion they were slow to act on President Trumps expectations for the documents.
The CIA began work months ago to get its remaining assassination-related documents ready for release on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the process.
The person, who was not authorised to publicly discuss the process and spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the goal was to have all the agencys documents ready to be released in full or with national security redactions before the deadline. .
Since taking office, President Trump has challenged the integrity of intelligence leaders, moved to exert more control over US spying agencies and accused his predecessor of using government spycraft to monitor his campaign.
In the JFK files matter, one White House official said, President Trump wanted to make clear he wouldnt be bullied by the agencies.
Whatever occurred in the lead-up to deadline day, President Trump was irritated Thursday that agencies still were arguing for more redactions.
The president earlier in the week had tweeted to tease the release of the documents, heightening the sense of drama on a subject that has sparked the imaginations of conspiracy theorists for decades. .
Under a 1992 law, all of the records related to the assassination were to be made public unless explicitly withheld by the president.
Just before the release Thursday, President Trump wrote in a memorandum that he had no choice but to agree to requests from the CIA and FBI to keep thousands of documents secret because of the possibility that releasing the information could still harm national security.
Two aides said President Trump was upset by what he perceived to be overly broad secrecy requests, adding that the agencies had been explicitly warned about his expectation that redactions be kept to a minimum.
The President and White House have been very clear with all agencies for weeks: They must be transparent and disclose all information possible, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said Friday. .
Late last week, President Trump received his first official briefing on the release in an Oval Office meeting that included Chief of Staff John Kelly, White House Counsel Don McGahn and National Security Council legal adviser John Eisenberg.
President Trump made it clear he was unsatisfied with the pace of declassification. President Trump's tweets, an official said, were meant as a signal to the intelligence community to take seriously his threats to release the documents in their entirety.
According to White House officials, President Trump accepted that some of the records contained references to sensitive sources and methods used by the intelligence community and law enforcement and that declassification could harm American foreign policy interests.
But after having the scope of the redactions presented to him, President Trump told aides he did not believe them to be in the spirit of the law. .
On Thursday, President Trump's top aides presented him with an alternative to simply acquiescing to the agency requests: he could temporarily allow the redactions while ordering the agencies to launch a new comprehensive examination of the records still withheld or redacted in part.
President Trump accepted the suggestion, ordering that agencies be extremely circumspect about keeping the remaining documents secret at the end of the 180-day assessment.
After strict consultation with General Kelly, the CIA and other agencies, I will be releasing ALL JFK files other than the names and addresses of any mentioned person who is still living, President Trump wrote in a Friday tweet.
I am doing this for reasons of full disclosure, transparency and in order to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest. .

Nuclear bombers sent to Pacific ahead of Trump's regional visit amid North Korea tensions - Duration: 3:14.
Nuclear bombers sent to Pacific ahead of Trump's regional visit amid North Korea tensions
The nuclear-fitted B-2 bombers travelled to the region as US Defence Secretary James Mattis declared the US would not "accept North Korea as a nuclear power".
President Trump will visit South Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam and the Philippines in a trip which has been viewed as highly provocative by Kim Jong-un.
Fears have been raised that Trump arriving in Seoul could spark a war on the Korean peninsular with tensions showing no sign of calming. The tour was announced as a move to "confront the North Korean threat" in September.
The White House said: "The President's engagements will strengthen the international resolve to confront the North Korean threat and ensure the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula." The jets can be refuelled mid-flight giving them the ability to strike any point in the world.
Defence Secretary James Mattis said: "I cannot imagine a condition under which the United States would accept North Korea as a nuclear power.
North Korea has accelerated the threat that it poses to its neighbours and the world through its illegal and unnecessary missile and nuclear weapons programs.".
Pyongyang have threatened to test their most powerful nuclear bomb in the Pacific ocean ahead of the visit.
Local news reports have suggested the US President could visit the heavily fortified DMZ border between South Korea and the North which it is feared will be seen as a threat.
In 1983 President Ronald Reagan, who Trump has long admired, took a tour of the area.
Now there have been calls for Trump to carry out the provocative trip as a show of strength. But concerns have been raised the move could provoke retaliation from the isolated dictatorship amid soaring tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Sue Mi Terry, a former Korea analyst, said: Theyre seeing almost everything as a threat.
They already see him as a very provocative person. Anything that he does will be continually seen that way. Asked about a visit to the border President Trump said: "Well, Id rather not say, but youll be surprised.".

How Trump's tune on Manafort changed as investigators closed in - Duration: 2:13.
Trump: Paul Manafort has done an amazing job. He's here someplace. Where's Paul? Paul Manafort.
I brought Paul in because a very, very smart friend of mine who knew him very well, said he is fantastic,
okay, and he's somewhat political, my friend.
He's actually a very successful businessman, but he's - he's a political type.
He loves politics, like all of you, and he said this guy is fantastic.
I brought Paul in and Paul has done a really good job.
Paul Manafort has done a fantastic job,
and all of Paul's people, Paul brought on his staff, and we really do, we have a great staff of talented people. A great staff
People knew that he represented various countries, but I don't think he represented Russia,
but knew that he represented various countries.
That's what he does, and people know that.
That's Mr. Manafort, who's by the way, who's by the way, respected man. He's a respected man.
But I think he represented the Ukraine or Ukraine government or somebody, but everybody - people knew that. Everybody knew that.
Sean Spicer: And then obviously there's been discussion of Paul Manafort, who played a very limited role, for a very limited amount of time, but beyond
Hey, John, Jonathan, hold on -
Trump: I know Mr. Manafort - haven't spoken to him in a long time, but I know him.
He was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time, relatively short period of time,
but I've always known to be a good man.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders: These were seasoned operatives that worked on a number of campaigns.
Paul Manafort was brought in to lead the delegate process, which he did and was dismissed not too long after that.
I've always found Paul Manafort to be a very decent man.
And he's like a lot of other people, probably makes consultant fees from all over the place, who knows, I don't know.

Philippines President Duterte to welcome Donald Trump as 'important leader' - Duration: 4:34.
Philippines President Duterte to welcome Donald Trump as 'important leader'
"I would deal with President Trump in the most righteous way, welcome him as an important leader," President Duterte told journalists ahead of his visit to Japan, where he is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
"I would have to also listen to him, what he has to say," the Philippines leader said.
President Duterte said he expects to discuss issues such as "terrorism, cooperation between the two countries [and] the fight against drugs" during his meeting with President Trump.
However, earlier, the US Ambassador to Manila, Sung Kim, told reporters the two leaders would also likely discuss human rights and the rule of law, which remain controversial issues in light of President Duterte's war on drugs policy. .
The Philippines president himself said the November talks would be particularly focused on the North Korean nuclear question. The opening agenda would be North Korea.
We are worried, all of us, that if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong, he said, as cited by the Philippines ABS-CBN broadcaster. "A nuclear war is totally unacceptable to everybody," President Duterte added. .
"Tell him that nobody's threatening him [Kim Jong-un], that there would be no war and that if you can just tone down or stand down, stop the threats, and that would be the same for America.
" He said the only "country that can calm him [Kim Jong-un] down is China. " Earlier, the Philippines president referred to the North Korean leader as a "fool" and "son of a bitch," who is "playing with dangerous toys.
" The outspoken Philippines leader has, in the past, not held back from criticising the US.
A year ago, he announced a "separation" from the US in favour of realignment with China. Later, President Duterte slammed Washington for treating his country "like a dog".
In July this year, he called the US "lousy" and vowed that he would "never" go to the US during his term, "or even thereafter".
However, three weeks later, the Philippines leader had a sudden change of heart, calling himself a "humble friend" of Washington while meeting Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. .
He also seems to have better relations with President Trump than he had with President Barack Obama. President Duterte called President Trump a "deep man" and claimed he wouldn't have become a billionaire if he was "stupid".
President Trump, in his turn, praised the Philippines president in May for doing "unbelievable job on the drug problem" despite criticism of President Duterte's brutal drug crackdown by human rights groups.
In late September, President Duterte once again confirmed his readiness for a new policy in relations with Washington by praising the US as an important security ally. .
He described all his previous anti-US tirades as "water under the bridge". President Trump is expected to land in the Philippines on November 12 for a two-day visit as part of his Asian trip, scheduled for November 3-14.
He will be in Manila after visiting Japan, South Korea, China, and Vietnam.

BUSTED: Former Trump Campaign Chair Indicted In Mueller Probe - Duration: 3:57.
Late Friday evening, it was announced that indictments had been sealed and delivered
in the Bob Mueller special prosecutor probe and a potential collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia.
So, the nation waited anxiously over Saturday and Sunday, and then today we finally found
out who the lucky individual was to win the first indictment from Bob Mueller.
That person just happened to be Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's former campaign manager.
Along with Manafort, Rick Gates, who served basically as Manafort's right-hand man during
the campaign, was also served an indictment, and the two men turned themselves in to the
FBI.
At this point, here is what happens.
The special prosecutor, the people investigating this, obviously they do have enough evidence
to bring the charges against Manafort and Gates.
That does not indicate that these men are, in fact, guilty.
It just means there's enough evidence to go ahead and charge with a crime.
Some of those crimes include money laundering, tax evasion, and conspiracy against the United
States.
That's the big one because that's tantamount to treason at this point.
But what they're hoping to do by going after Manafort and going after Gates is to get them
to talk, to reveal further information that is going to lead to even more indictments
down the road.
Manafort has done some really shady things in the past.
He has been involved in the Ukraine.
He has very strong ties to the Russian government dealing with them, accepting money from them
and the Ukraine and other Putin allies.
So, that's obviously one of the paths with which this investigation moved forward.
More things are going to develop over time.
We're going to find out a little bit more here and there.
Once the full indictments are released, we're going to be able to read through those and
find out exactly what is going on, what the evidence is, and what the likelihood of a
conviction will be at this point.
But, again, these indictments are mostly to get these two men to squeal in order to get
more information about more co-conspirators because you got to have more than two people
to have a conspiracy against the United States, even though both men have been charged with
this.
It is worth noting that Donald Trump himself could be listed as an un-indicted co-conspirator,
though that remains to be seen.
Again, we're hoping these two men start singing.
We're hoping they turn over everything they've got, reveal everything they know, and then
indictments keep coming.
Because, personally, I would love to see Jared Kushner go down in all of this.
I think he is the kind of guy who not only knows everything that went on, but also the
kind of human being that if you apply even the slightest pressure to him, he's going
to start squealing and revealing every single thing that he knows.
Hopefully, Manafort and Gates are going to give Mueller enough evidence to go ahead and
go ahead and charge Kushner with a crime as well.
Again, this story's still developing.
Hopefully, we're going to know some more things as the day drags on, as the week goes on,
but at least right now this big alleged nothing burger from the Trump administration has turned
into two men being forced to turn themselves in to the FBI.

It Was A Set Up! Look Who Set Up The Fusion GPS Meeting With Donald Trump Jr.(VIDEO)!!! - Duration: 11:41.
It Was A Set Up! Look Who Set Up The Fusion GPS Meeting With Donald Trump Jr.
there are new details tonight linking the firm fusion GPS to the rush of
lobbyists who met with Donald Trump jr. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Chuck Grassley wrote to the Justice Department back in March and he stated
this quote it is particularly disturbing that mr. arc Metzen and fusion GPS were
working together on this pro-russia lobbying effort in 2016 in light of mr.
Achmed shion's history and reputation mr. Ark mention
is a Russian immigrant to the United States who's admitted having been a
Soviet counterintelligence officer in quote and as we reported here last night
the Russian attorney vessel and Nitz kaya was also linked to fusion gps
related to a money-laundering case involving a Russian holding company are
you confused yet if not I'll guarantee it will occur soon
here tonight fusion GPS is Christopher steel created the false dossier on then
candidate Donald Trump an effort reportedly funded by the Democratic
supporters of Hillary Clinton I kid you not joining me now Chris Farrell the
director of investigations and research at Judicial Watch Chris I got to say
with all apologies to my colleagues and broadcasting and media across the
country you're damn fools for chasing this nonsense like a bunch of bang
hounds I mean this is ridiculous if anything needs to be investigated it's
the DNC link to fusion GPS and the phony dossier because clearly that it doesn't
benefit Trump right that was an attempt to knock Trump out so whose money was
behind that if you want to go back and peel back the layers on this Russia
hysteria you look at the DNC look at Hillary's campaign that's where it seems
to point in my opinion well in my opinion as well and I've been saying
here that the number one question in the so-called Russia collusion investigation
a which is a manifest joke by the way from top to bottom in my opinion agree
but if there is a question to be answered it is how in the hell did the
DNC get away with telling the CIA the FBI to get away from their servers just
because they had some sort of national security interest in it all and why in
the world did the FBI and the CIA say oh very well Democratic National Committee
people will just step back and get out of your way and let the Russians have
their way with you I mean this is absurd well and the fact that the FBI would
stand by and supposedly take that as just nuts but let's not forget that
vessel that's Disgaea and OCH mention boris and Natasha the two of them what
we're running around the United States under the Obama administration under the
imprimatur of the Attorney General who handed out as best we can tell perhaps
the one and only immigration parole in history to a Russian citizen correct and
you know jay johnson's hands are dirty in this and i want to know why jake
johnson the former head of homeland security secretary who handles all the
immigration issues i want to know right now why homeland security investigations
is not out conducting investigations of all those persons in the Obama
administration who approve that who authorized this female attorney
well Andrew the United States let's get me it gets it gets as these things seem
to better and better once the republican-led Senate and republican-led
house start behaving as if the Democrats control them but how in the world is it
that the the statute that permits a immigration parole refers to the
secretary as having that power not the Attorney General and how did the
Attorney General then a bribe that authority to herself and
reportedly approved the parole the immigration parole that permitted the
Russian attorney into the country and the questions then compound themselves
how did she remain in the country till June of last year when that immigration
parole ended back in January there's no explanation for this the well what
happened was you had multiple Obama gang I thought you know officers or officials
signing off on allowing this woman to operate in the United States it's
mind-boggling why they would ever do so and as I said that the FBI or Homeland
Security Investigations should be getting statements right now from those
persons who authorized her to stay in the country they made super exceptional
you know above and beyond efforts to allow her to stay here why who
authorized it why who authorised it next question is why in the world is the
Attorney General not shutting down the Special Counsel why in the world is is
this attorney general this Justice Department not going after right now the
the answers to all of the questions that we've just raised here and the hundreds
of others that likely will flow from them as well as investigating now the
Clinton Foundation now investigating the conduct of a Secretary of State the name
of Hillary Clinton and the conduct of the Democratic National Committee and
the leaders of the FBI and the CIA who withdrew from a national security breach
in the form of intervention by the Russians in the Democratic National
Committee servers why what glue this whole thing if I told you it was an
email from Sidney Blumenthal to Huma Abedin you wouldn't believe it but
that's what it reads like it is so twisted and contorted and frankly
there's so much Democratic operative involved that in this all of the efforts
all the investigative efforts are pointed in the wrong to
correction and all the public relations sort of government information side of
this should be talking about how the Trump administration is aggressively
pursuing this and trying to get to the bottom of it not passively sitting by
and waiting for Muller to dream something up robert muller and dreaming
something up without portfolio because he's in charge of finding out whether
there was collusion which is as you pointed out on this broadcast numerous
times not even a law to be broken left alone evidence of a law being broken
correct but secondly to go to the issue of watching richard burr be led around
by his nose by the democratic ranking committee member senator mark warner and
to watch this parade of irrelevance he's coming before the senate intelligence
committee the same thing happening but to a lesser degree to the House
Committee and now Senator Chuck Grassley thus the chairman of the Judiciary
Committee in the Senate I mean it's as if the the republican-led Senate has
been turned on its head and the Republican Party doesn't have enough
brains to well if dynamite were brains they couldn't blow their nose precisely
the what the other think you would hear a sixth-grade reference like that well
only because it's so absurd and it's it's it's a case where you know the bad
guys come in and do something and then the you know the cops in the form of
this incredible Senate leadership starts questioning all the victims as though
they were the bad guys point out the Trump outside legal team says that this
lawyer in question may have actually had ties to a group called fusion GPS

Republican Congressman Accidentally Says He And Trump Jr. Went On A "Peasant Hunt" - Duration: 2:25.
In what might be one of the most honest typos ever given to us on Twitter, Republican representative
Steve King, this past weekend, tweeted out a photo of himself and Donald Trump Jr., saying
they were at a peasant hunt.
Now, obviously, and it's very obvious from the picture that he meant to say they were
at a pheasant hunt.
They were out hunting pheasant.
But instead, Steve King, who clearly has no idea how spell check works, accidentally let
it slip that he and Trump Jr. were out hunting peasants.
I don't know if you would consider that a typo.
To me, that seems more like a Freudian slip.
Why?
Because when you actually look at the policies of the Republican Party, it actually does
start to feel like these people are on a peasant hunt.
I mean, they're screwing over the needy in this country, but cutting Medicare, cutting
Medicaid, cutting Social Security disability, cutting after school programs for needy children,
just so that they can give a tax break to the wealthy elite.
That is a peasant hunt.
The entire Republican party, at this point, is engaging in a peasant hunt, here in the
United States.
And I know it seems silly to just be talking about some dude's typo on Twitter, but it
really does speak volumes about what's happening right now within the Republican party.
At least in the past, they tried to disguise their hatred of the poor and the working class
in the United States.
But today, they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
They're flat out telling us, "We're trying to cut programs for the poor, to give money
to the rich."
They're saying that.
That's their policy.
They're done hiding it.
They're done using the code language, and they're just flat out, basically saying, "You
know what?
Let's all, as one big Republican party, go on a massive peasant hunt, here in the United
States."
