Jefferson Morley October 28, 2017

The backlash continues. Trump’s much ballyhooed release of JFK files is drawing more criticism for being late and incomplete.

He is now a U.S. district judge in Minnesota.

“I think it’s time to release everything” Tunheim said. “We didn’t really protect that much. We never protected an entire document, except for those that we didn’t think that were relevant at all. It might have been some kind of intelligence gathering method that was still being used that they didn’t want the public to know about.”
