CIA Allegedly Raids DNI Gabbard's Office Over JFK Files

In what sounds like a plot twist straight out of a political thriller, the CIA allegedly walked into US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s office and seized documents related to the JFK assassination that were supposedly in the process of being declassified. The allegations surfaced during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday, according to Fox News reporter Jesse Watters, who cited claims from James Eardman III—identified as a Fauci whistleblower—who made the accusation while testifying in court.

The timing here is what makes this story particularly explosive. These files weren’t gathering dust in some forgotten archive—they were actively being prepped for public release when the CIA allegedly stepped in. If true, it raises some uncomfortable questions about who actually controls document declassification in this government and whether an intelligence agency can simply override a presidential executive order on transparency.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna didn’t mince words about it. She publicly called out the CIA and gave them a 24-hour ultimatum: return the documents to Gabbard’s office or face a congressional subpoena. Luna specifically referenced what she saw as a potential violation of a presidential executive order regarding declassification efforts. That’s not a casual complaint—that’s a formal threat from Congress.

What we’re dealing with here is a fundamental tension in how America handles sensitive historical information. The JFK assassination has sat at the center of declassification debates for decades, with pieces of it trickling out over the years while other corners remain sealed. The question of whether intelligence agencies get to override decisions about what the public sees—even when those decisions come from the top levels of government—gets to the heart of transparency and accountability in the national security state.

The story is still developing, so we don’t yet have the full picture. But the fact that a sitting DNI, a Fox News correspondent, and a House representative are all publicly backing this claim suggests something more serious than just rumor. Whether the CIA was acting on legitimate national security grounds or overreaching its authority will likely define how this plays out over the next 24 hours.
