GB News star Andrew Pierce has highlighted intriguing details from the recently released JFK assassination files, noting they suggest Lee Harvey Oswald "was not an accomplished marksman".
Andrew drew attention to the timing of events surrounding President Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
"The Warren Commission says he was assassinated himself two days after the killing. Funny that," Pierce remarked on the programme.
He also pointed out a connection to the current US administration, stating: "Don't forget - Donald Trump's health secretary is Robert F Kennedy, JFK's nephew."
"President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency. Today, per his direction, previously redacted JFK Assassination Files are being released to the public with no redactions. Promises made, promises kept," said Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence.
Trump had signed an executive order in January directing the government to release the remaining documents.
"I'm going to release them immediately," Trump said at the time.
The president announced the release on Monday whilst visiting the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

The newly released files appear to support Pierce's comments about Oswald's marksmanship. One memo noted that Oswald was "a poor shot when he tried target firing in the Soviet Union".
This detail emerged from a CIA memo from November 1991, which referenced a KGB official who had reviewed files on Oswald.
The same memo indicated the KGB "watched him closely and constantly while he was in the USSR".
The connection Andrew highlighted between the Kennedy family and the current administration is notable, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. serving as Trump's health secretary.
Kennedy Jr. is the nephew of the assassinated president, creating a historical link to the newly declassified documents.
Among other revelations in the files is information about CIA operative Gary Underhill, who claimed the intelligence agency was responsible for Kennedy's death.
According to the documents, Underhill fled Washington in a hurry the day after Kennedy's assassination.
He told friends that "a small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination" and that he feared for his life.
Less than six months later, Underhill was found dead in his Washington apartment with a gunshot wound behind his left ear.
The files note that the suicide ruling was "by no means convincing", particularly as Underhill was right-handed but the pistol was found under his left side.
