A whistleblower has come forward alleging that the CIA took JFK andMKUltrafiles from Tulsi Gabbard's DNI office.
CIA agents allegedly raided the office of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, hauling out forty boxes containing files on the JFK assassination and MKUltra.
Whistleblower James Eardman III claimed these files were actively being prepared for public release when the CIA intervened and took possession of them.
Tulsi Gabbard's press secretary, Olivia Coleman, categorically denied Eardman's claims. 'This is false, the CIA did not raid the DNI's office,' she wrote on X. The DNI office asserted Coleman's stance and dismissed the allegations.
This is false - the CIA did not raid the DNI’s office.https://t.co/vZOEqzeK4M
Florida representative Anna Paulina Luna gave Eardman the benefit of the doubt, however, demanding the CIA return any seized files within 24 hours or face a subpoena, noting Congress had requested those records.
Clarification: Took documents that ODNI has jurisdiction over. Also, this did not happen today & was not a “raid” however it did take place and we are just being made aware of it based on reporting etc.https://t.co/erYzUWDZVQ
'[The CIA] took documents that ODNI has jurisdiction over,' Luna later clarified on X. 'Also, this did not happen today & was not a 'raid' however it did take place and we are just being made aware of it based on reporting etc.'
The controversy has underscored the urgency of enforcing congressional oversight of the disputed documents. Eardman's claims also attracted heated attention because they involved two of the CIA's allegedly covert operations.
MKUltra was a clandestine program of mind control experiments that involved testing drugs on unsuspecting subjects. Executed between 1953 and 1973, then CIA Director Allen Dulles authorised the experiments, intending to develop interrogation methods during the Cold War.
