What’s still hidden inside the JFK files Trump has promised to
release? Since the 1960s historians have been trying to assemble
an accurate story that weaves together the shadowy trinity of
cuban revolutionaries, secretive three letter agencies, and
powerful organized crime families with the fate of JFK. With us
for the discussion of what those files will reveal is Louis
Ferrante, former member of the Gambino crime family. Check out
his books on the history of the Mafia and their involvement with
the Kennedy family below.
