Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 scheduled the release of the documents for 2025, and President Donald Trump also signed an executive order days into his second term that called for the \u201cendless delays\u201d of the release to end.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why the CIA would be so resistant to the documents being released, Kennedy didn\u2019t have an answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. I mean, obviously, there\u2019s something that they feel like that they don\u2019t want the public to read. It\u2019s very strange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also thanked the Republican lawmakers, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who are joining his fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m grateful to them for doing that. I don\u2019t even know if you need Congress, but I\u2019m glad that Congress responded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a CIA spokesperson also made a statement to The Post:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>ODNI has acknowledged in writing they made a mistake saying that boxes were seized and then were again mistaken in saying there were ever any boxes either missing or not made available. ODNI has acknowledged all boxes have been made available to them for more than a year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>X users reacted to the story:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">CIA covering up for CIA? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f937-200d-2640-fe0f.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MAGA ME (@MyHandleNo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MyHandleNo\/status\/2058193646680187381?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 23, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">they\u2019ve been gunnysackin them for 60 yrs<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Richie Ross (@RichieR68547368) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichieR68547368\/status\/2058192745760526470?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 23, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Wouldn\u2019t want to implicate the actual perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 IntentionalGlitch (@1Glitch34) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/1Glitch34\/status\/2058160498193957312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 23, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sure it\u2019s illegal, but the question is.
