Jack Schlossberg has criticized Joe Rogan soon after Donald Trump announced the release of all documents related to the ex-president’s assassination.
Schlossberg targeted the podcaster for a 2023 interview with his relative, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., during which the current Secretary of Health and Human Services promoted the theory that John F. Kennedy was murdered by U.S. intelligence agencies.
‘I’m aware of that danger,’ RFK Jr. stated during the interview. ‘I’m not living in fear of it, you know, at all. But I’m cautious and take necessary measures.’
Trump appeared on the same podcast months later and vowed to release all of the documents related to JFK’s November 22, 1963 assassination if he were to be elected president.
Those documents are now set to be released on Tuesday – and Schlossberg, who is John F. Kennedy’s only grandson, says he hopes they will quell all of the theories about what really happened.
‘Are you going to go through all the JFK assassination files tomorrow with your little butt buddy Bobby,’ Schlossberg asked Rogan in a video posted to Instagram Monday night. ‘You better.’
‘After you spread all those lies, you’re not going to make sure that they’re true?’ he asked rhetorically.
In a caption for the video, Schlossberg also goaded Rogan to have him on his show.
‘Just kidding, you’re too scared to talk to someone who doesn’t agree with you,’ Schlossberg said.
The federal government has maintained that the 35th president of the United States was killed by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was killed days later by Jack Ruby.
But questions emerged shortly after Kennedy’s death played out on live television, especially after the federal government claimed that only one bullet struck Kennedy in the back and exited through his throat.
Many have since posited that there must have been a second shooter – something federal officials have long denied.
Then, when Trump took office for the first time in 2017, he vowed to release all of the files the federal government has on the assassination.
More than 2,800 documents were released that year, with President Joe Biden releasing additional documents in 2021 and 2022.
The National Archives then released additional documents on June 30, 2023.
Still, thousands of documents remained under seal, claiming in his October interview with Rogan that there was a ‘national security’ risk.
He said at the time that a number of people in the federal government, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, did not want him to release the files.
‘They called me. They said, sir, [we] would rather have you not. After, and I did open them, but I was asked by some people not to open them,’ Trump told Rogan.
He added that there is also a file on Martin Luther King Jr. ‘that they’d like to see.’
‘But if I win, I’m going to open them up,’ he vowed.
‘I can’t tell you whether or not they’re going to find anything of interest,’ Trump added, noting that he did ‘partially open’ up the documents.
‘I think I’ve opened 50%, but I was asked not to do it. And I thought that was a reasonable ask, but now I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it very soon. There’s a lot of interest in it.’
Just days after taking office for the second time, Trump signed an executive order directing intelligence agencies to work with the White House on a plan to release all of the documents.
Finally, on Monday Trump said he would release all of the remaining documents, which he called ‘interesting’ without giving any hint of what could be in them.
‘We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files…people have been waiting for decades for this,’ he said from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.’
‘That’s going to be released tomorrow. We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading.’
He added: ‘I don’t believe we are are going to redact anything. I said just don’t redact. You can’t redact. But we’re going to be releasing the JFK files.’
The substance of what might come out of the trove of new documents remains unclear. But they could include files on a CIA spy chief with a murky role in the affair, it emerged last month.
According to Jefferson Morley, a leading expert on the assassination, the new documents could also include files on George Joannides, who was chief of covert action at the CIA’s station in Miami in 1963.
The CIA man based in Miami funded a group of Cuban exiles, which assassin Lee Harvey Oswald tried to infiltrate weeks before he shot the president in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Axios reported in February that the FBI had unearthed 2,400 new documents that could shed light on the enduring mystery of JFK’s death.
Yet Schlossberg has repeatedly denied there was anything interesting about his grandfather’s death.
‘The truth is a lot sadder than the myth – a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme,’ he wrote in January, following Trump’s executive order.
‘Declassification is using JFK as a political prop when h’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it,’ he claimed.
