Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reported to President Trump’s public cabinet meeting on April 10 that 100 members of her staff are busy scanning all the documentation found in FBI and CIA files on the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., so that they can be released to the public as quickly as a few weeks. The files on John F. Kennedy have all been released, and are available to the public, either online or in archives, she said, but added that she has a team of “hunters” who are searching physically for any other files, that might not yet have been found at the FBI and CIA.
She named as another priority of declassification efforts documents related to election integrity—programs, she commented to President Trump, “which you experienced.”
A press release that Gabbard issued on April 8 stated that a new task force, called the Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG), has been established to carry out these tasks. Its mandate is to carry out “President Trump’s Executive Orders aimed at rebuilding trust in the IC [Intelligence Community]—starting with investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest.” The DIG is already operational and well underway, the release reports.
