Anna Paulina Luna Receives Alleged JFK Assassination Report from Russia Backed by Trump
Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has stirred controversy after announcing that she received an unreleased report from the Russian government regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This development caught significant public attention on social media.
Background on the JFK Assassination Report
Luna revealed that she obtained the document from Russian Ambassador Alexander Darchiev. The report consists of approximately 350 pages detailing the Russian government’s findings on the JFK assassination. She expressed excitement about the report’s impending translation and public release, emphasizing its historical significance.
- Document Source: Russian government
- Length: 350 pages
- Delivery Person: Ambassador Alexander Darchiev
Public Reaction and Criticism
Her announcement prompted a wave of criticism on social media. Many users questioned the credibility of the Russian government as a source of information, especially considering its history of disseminating disinformation. Conservative activist Inez Stepman called the request for the Soviet-era report “the stupidest thing” a Congress member could do.
Washington Post columnist Mark Theissen also criticized Luna’s actions, suggesting that she was naive to trust a country adversarial to the U.S.
Context of Existing Investigations
The U.S. government has released extensive files about the JFK assassination over the years. An executive order signed by former President Donald Trump led to the declassification of many documents, though none have contradicted the conclusion reached by numerous investigations. These investigations consistently identified Lee Harvey Oswald as Kennedy’s assassin.
Statements from Luna’s Office
A spokesperson for Luna, David Leatherwood, stated that the Congresswoman was prompted to request the documents by independent journalist Jefferson Morley. He confirmed that Luna did meet the Russian ambassador to discuss the report. According to Leatherwood, the aim was to foster better relations with Russia and contribute to the ongoing efforts to make more information available to the JFK research community.
The documents are reportedly in high demand among historians and researchers, having been sought after for decades.
