The controversy intensified after a former CIA officer claimed in a widely viewed interview that a substantial tranche of assassination-related material is still being kept from public view, sharpening long-standing doubts about what may remain hidden in the files more than 60 years on.
In an interview published on YouTube by former mob figure-turned-commentator Michael Franzese, CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou alleged that 'approximately 10,000 documents' tied to the Kennedy assassination remain unreleased in full, despite decades of public pressure and legislative mandates. He suggested that some of these records could contain references to sensitive foreign intelligence connections, including a possible Israeli angle.
