Tucker Carlson Accuses Tom Cotton of Blocking JFK File Release, Senator Denies Allegation

Carlson claims Cotton opposed a key intelligence hire to prevent JFK file disclosure, but Cotton refutes the charge and asserts willingness to release the files.

Tucker Carlson alleged that Senator Tom Cotton worked to block a Trump administration intelligence hire to prevent the full release of classified JFK assassination files.
Carlson made the accusation during a podcast discussion with Chris Cuomo, naming Cotton as the senator involved after being pressed to identify the individual.
Senator Cotton denied the claim on social media, stating he has no objections to releasing the JFK files and had no role in blocking any appointments related to the matter.
Cotton emphasized that Carlson had been in contact with him recently but did not ask him about the allegations before making them public.
The controversy comes as President Trump’s administration continues efforts to declassify JFK assassination records, with new files reportedly discovered by the FBI.
