I'm The One Who Really Killed JFK and Trump's vow to declassify CIA files will bring nothing but lies
A former
Chicago mobster who claims to have killed President John F Kennedy says that President
Donald Trump's plan to release the files tied to the assassination will only yield more 'lies'.
James Files, 83, claims he fired the bullet that killed Kennedy on November 22, 1963 from behind a fence on the grassy knoll overlooking Dealey Plaza in
Dallas.
He says the other shot that struck Kennedy came was fired by his boss, Charles 'Chuckie' Nicoletti, who was hiding out in the book depository - the same place Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have been at the time of the shooting.
Files and his team of mafia hitmen, who he claims were recruited and trained by the CIA, packed up their weapons and fled the scene just seconds after the fatal shot was fired, he alleges.
Files has once again doubled down on his claim that he 'took the fatal shot' that killed Kennedy after Trump signed an executive order authorizing the release of remaining classified records about the shooting.
He has also warned that despite Trump's order, intelligence officials are unlikely to change their stance on the case and claims that 'a hundred years from now they will still say that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and there was no conspiracy'.
'The government tells a lie, they have to live the lie. I don't think Trump will get any further than what's already been disclosed,' Files told
The Times, alleging the 'CIA has lied to the American public for 61 years' and is not suddenly going to say 'we're sorry, we lied to you'.
Files was a Vietnam war veteran who was also part of a team that trained a militia for the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.
Files has previously alleged there was a conspiracy between the mafia and the CIA to kill Kennedy.
He claimed the CIA turned against JFK after
called for a stop of the secret Bay of Pigs operation and that the agency then called in mobsters to assassinate him in Dallas.
Files detailing his account of the fatal shooting, says he was stationed on the grassy knoll as Kennedy's motorcade approached.
