Sen. Tom Cotton Refutes Tucker Carlson’s Claim of Blocking JFK Files Release

Cotton denies accusations from Carlson, asserting no involvement in efforts to withhold JFK assassination records.

Tucker Carlson alleged that Sen. Tom Cotton worked to block the release of JFK assassination files by opposing a key intelligence appointment in 2025.
Carlson named Cotton during a conversation with Chris Cuomo, claiming the senator aimed to protect classified information tied to the CIA.
Cotton responded on social media, calling the allegations false and stating that Carlson could have contacted him directly for clarification.
The senator emphasized he supports the release of the JFK files and has not interfered with any appointments or decisions related to the matter.
Efforts to declassify JFK assassination records continue under directives from President Trump’s administration.
