1:49Now PlayingRep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) alleges that the CIA removed files pertaining to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and the CIA’s Project MK-ULTRA from another intelligence agency.
A spokesperson for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard emphatically denied erroneous reporting that Gabbard's own office had been the target for the CIA, stating on the social media platform X, "This is false - the CIA did not raid the DNI's office." That post linked to a since-deleted post from Fox News host Jesse Watters.
NewsNation host Katie Pavlich spoke with Luna in an interview that aired Wednesday, May 13.
In that conversation, Luna described the boxes of files as being taken from ODNI, a statement that was sufficiently ambiguous to create confusion.
Before the program aired, Luna clarified in an X post an apparent misunderstanding, citing a post from Pavlich with a preview of the interview and a caption that stated, incorrectly, "that the CIA just marched into DNI Gabbard's office."
Luna explained that the files in question had been "documents that ODNI has jurisdiction over," further stating that "this did not happen today and was not a 'raid.'"
Pavlich, embedding Luna's post in her own clarification on X, stated that she had spoken with an unspecified official in intelligence. The official told Pavlich the documents had been taken by the CIA from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) during last year's government shutdown. The contact also said that the CIA's custody of the files prevents their declassification.
