Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), chair of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, told podcast host Joe Rogan that the Russian government has agreed to release long-secret KGB files on Lee Harvey Oswald related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Luna claims these documents were originally provided to U.S. officials in 1963 and later destroyed by the CIA.
Luna said she and two other members of Congress recently met with the Russian ambassador to discuss the matter — the first meeting on this topic since 1990.

According to Luna, the KGB conducted its own investigation into Oswald and handed over their findings to American officials during Kennedy’s funeral period, but the materials never resurfaced.
She also said the documents could shed light on Kennedy’s foreign policy approach at the time, which included exploring peaceful cooperation with the Soviet Union.
Luna told Rogan that Kennedy had been in talks with the Soviet president about a joint U.S.-Russian mission to the moon, a position she said was at odds with factions inside the American intelligence community that favored military escalation in Cuba and confrontation with Moscow.
“We never got those documents, and it’s my belief that the CIA actually destroyed that information and evidence because it would have confirmed what the KGB [found],” Luna said.

She added that Cold War politics could have influenced the intelligence community to portray Kennedy as a communist sympathizer.
Luna announced that the Russian government has now agreed to release its JFK investigation publicly for the first time this fall.
A similar request from a U.S. Congressional Task Force in the 1990s had been denied.
She said the files are expected to include a psychological profile of Oswald from his time in Russia, describing him as mentally unstable, poor with firearms, and inconsistent with the image of a lone mastermind assassin.
When asked by Rogan if she had seen the files, Luna replied, “I haven’t, no. So, I’ll be seeing it at the same time everyone else does.”
She said the Russian ambassador, who she described as a history enthusiast, told her the KGB suspected Oswald might be connected to U.S. intelligence and closely monitored him.
According to Luna, their records describe failed hunting attempts by Oswald and note that he later appeared at the Russian embassy in Mexico City with a firearm, prompting confusion from officials there.
Luna linked the upcoming release to other recent disclosures, including the CIA’s “Joannides file,” declassified under Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
She said the file reveals that senior CIA officer George Joannides monitored Oswald, later served as the CIA liaison to Congress during the House investigation into Kennedy’s assassination, and obstructed that investigation.
Luna said the file shows Joannides withheld information from Congress and was later commended by the agency.
She also cited claims from witnesses and investigators that the Warren Commission — the official body that examined Kennedy’s death — engaged in witness intimidation and excluded certain evidence.
Luna said recently declassified records refute the “single bullet” theory and include an admission from the CIA that Oswald was not the sole gunman.
While she said the newly released files may not identify a single individual responsible for Kennedy’s assassination, Luna stated there is credible evidence of multiple shooters.
After meeting with the Russian Ambassador a few weeks ago, I can confirm that the Russian government has agreed to release the KGB/Russian intelligence files on Lee Harvey Oswald.
In the 90s, Congress attempted to obtain the same files and were denied.
