Kennedy and MKUltra that Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard was reportedly planning to declassify, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"1091\">While Fox News host Jesse Watters shared that a whistleblower had revealed Gabbard\u2019s office was raided while giving a deposition earlier in the day and that Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) had also \u201cconfirmed it,\u201d Olivia Coleman, a press secretary for Gabbard, said, \u201cThis is false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"1091\">&#8230;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1237\">In a post on X, Luna warned that the CIA \u201chas 24 hours\u201d in which to return the files they took, or she will \u201cmake a motion to issue a subpoena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1237\">\n<p data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1700\">Representative <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Anna Paulina Luna<\/span><\/span> later clarified that the incident did not occur recently and was not technically a \u201craid,\u201d but she maintained that intelligence officials had removed documents that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence had jurisdiction over. According to reporting cited by lawmakers and journalists, the files were allegedly taken during the previous year\u2019s government shutdown and have not yet been returned.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"2123\">The controversy has reignited public skepticism surrounding decades of secrecy tied to the assassination of President <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">John F. Kennedy<\/span><\/span> and the CIA\u2019s infamous MKUltra program, which involved covert mind-control and psychological experimentation projects conducted during the Cold War era. Many Americans have long questioned whether the full truth surrounding these operations has ever been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2508\">Representative <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Lauren Boebert<\/span><\/span> joined calls for accountability, demanding to know who authorized the removal of the documents. Meanwhile, critics argue the incident highlights ongoing transparency concerns within the intelligence community and raises fresh questions about what information federal agencies may still be withholding from the public and Congress.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2508\">\n<h4 data-start=\"2694\" data-end=\"2819\">Do you believe the American people deserve full transparency on JFK and MKUltra files?
