Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna may be a Republican, but she is hoping to be the person who gets to the bottom of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
On Tuesday, Luna took to social media to declare that she was now in possession of “a hard copy of the report on JFK’s assassination from the Ambassador of Russia.”
“A team of experts is enroute to my office in the morning to begin translation and full review of documents,” she said, with plans to upload them “as soon as we can.”
In case anyone missed her point, she added for clarity: “This is of massive historical significance.”
Russia’s U.S. Embassy confirmed the release of the documents to Luna and said they were set to be officially published in that country next month.
The Embassy’s post noted that many of the documents had previously been presented at JFK’s funeral by Soviet representative Anastas Mikoyan.
During an August interview with Joe Rogan, Luna claimed that the CIA had destroyed its own copies of the documents a long time ago.
“The KGB had actually come forward with their own independent investigation, and they actually gave it at Kennedy’s funeral to U.S. officials,” she told Rogan. “We never got those documents, and it’s my belief that the CIA actually destroyed that information and evidence because it would have confirmed with this the KGB.”
Back in January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to declassify documents related to the assassination of JFK as well as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., after previous release attempts were stymied by internal reviews and redactions.
However, considering that Russia has long been accused of using disinformation to achieve its goals, many people were skeptical that its leaders were releasing the documents to Luna just for karma points.
HuffPost reached out to Luna’s office for comment, but no one immediately responded.
