Rogan said Trump’s explanation that some of those named in the files were still alive pointed to potential government involvement in Kennedy’s assassination.

At the start of the post-interview discussion, Rogan said he looked forward to the files being released.

“I don’t want to be on a podcast where there’s a lot of crap that I want to hear,” Rogan said. “I want to know what the fuck is in JFK’s files.”

During an interview Friday, Trump named former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as one of those who advised him at the time not to release all the documents entirely.

“I opened them partially. I was met by – good people, I mean, you know, look at me, good people, people who had the best intentions, Mike Pompeo was one of them, he’s a good person.

“By the way, there is also the Martin Luther King file that they would like to see, I don’t know if you know, but it is there, but in particular John Kennedy,” Trump continued. “So I get calls, I get calls from a lot of good people, people that I, you know, what would you find reasonable people, and they asked me not to do this, so I said, well, we’ll close it for another time. But if I win, I will open them.”
