Trump opens up on who he thinks killed JFK
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Donald Trump stated that he has “always” agreed with the official conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was responsible for the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
Speaking aboard Air Force One during an interview with Clay Travis from OutKick, Trump acknowledged Oswald’s role but hinted at the possibility of external assistance, asking, “Of course, was he helped?”
