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.
