Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) issued an ultimatum to the CIA on Wednesday, saying it has 24 hours to return documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and its MKUltra program that were reportedly taken from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard‘s office.
The situation was exacerbated when James Erdman, a career CIA operations officer, testified before the Senate homeland security committee that the agency had taken roughly 40 boxes relating to the former president’s assassination and the controversial human experiment from Gabbard’s office.
Gabbard, whose office oversees the CIA, was reviewing the information relating to the events for declassification. President Donald Trump had promised the declassification of the files relating to JFK’s assassination, releasing thousands last year.
Luna said the documents had been requested by Congress and that if they were not returned, she would introduce a motion to subpoena them.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Luna issued a letter to CIA Director John Ratcliffe requesting that all documents relating to the JFK assassination and the controversial MKUltra experiment be preserved.
Luna had previously announced that the House oversight committee would be holding a hearing on MKUltra.
Luna later corrected herself, saying the raid did not happen on Wednesday but that that was the time at which she and her colleagues found out about it.
