All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump. Thank you to the career @CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed the facts.

This is what separates @POTUS from dumb leaders of the past. He had an objective in America’s interest, accomplished it without losing a single American life, but he doesn’t keep going and risk the 2nd or 3rd order effects of another regime change war. Nobel Peace Prize worthy.
Reporter: Do you want to see regime change in Iran? Trump: "No, I don't want it. I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible. Regime change makes chaos." "And ideally, we don't want to see so much chaos. So we'll see how it goes." "You know, the Iranians are very good traders, very good business people. And they got a lot of oil." "They should be fine. They should be able to rebuild and do a good job. They're never going to have nuclear. But other than that, they should do a great job."

Per my press release, these declassified CIA records include fascinating details of Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s deep patriotism and love of country through his work as a voluntary CIA informant during a 1955 visit to the Soviet Union, then America’s top adversary.
CIA's release of 54 declassified documents related to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's assassination "delivers on President Trump's commitment to maximum transparency, enabling the CIA to shine light on information that is in the public interest." –@DCIARatcliffe cia.gov/stories/story/cia-di…

Thank you to the many CIA officers who worked weekends and many late nights to support this effort and get these documents into the public. And most of all, thanks to President Trump for delivering on his promise to be the most transparent administration in history.
UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at archives.gov/rfk. After the initial release of 10,000 documents three weeks ago, we searched FBI and CIA warehouses for any records not previously turned over to The National Archives. More than 60,000 documents were discovered, declassified, and digitized for public viewing. Today's release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth.

Honored to greet Ksenia Karelina early this morning and help get her returned back home to the United States. Grateful for the @CIA officers who worked to make this success possible! President Trump will continue to work for the release of all wrongfully detained Americans. 🇺🇸

Had a great visit and meeting with @ElonMusk to discuss his ideas and progress so far in making our government more efficient! I look forward to working with Elon and his team to ensure that CIA remains the premier intelligence Agency in the world.

Michael Ellis is one of the country’s preeminent national security lawyers and was an incredible Senior Director of Intelligence Programs for the Trump 45 National Security Council—he will make a great Deputy Director of the CIA! Thank you, President Trump!
