JFK files: Lee Harvey Oswald not only shooter, Pentagon Papers lawyer says
Ross Coulthart and constitutional lawyer Daniel Sheehan discuss the release of the John F. Kennedy assassination files. Sheehan alleges former CIA director Allen Dulles greenlit the assassination over Kennedy’s covert attempts to disassemble the country’s nuclear arsenal.
Sheehan also alleges that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only shooter, that mafia hitmen were there to fire additional shots, and that, before the assassination, Kennedy asked to explore the topic of UAPs.

Declassified: The JFK Assassination
Following the release of more classified documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart hosts a special report, “Declassified: The JFK Assassination." The long-awaited release has so far yielded little new information. Despite hopes that the files might contain groundbreaking details, early reviews suggest much of the material has been previously available in some form. President Donald Trump said Friday that individuals will be able to make their own “determination” as to who killed JFK.

Top Navy admiral to face Congress on UAPs: 'This needs to come out'
Are we getting closer to exposing the truth about UAPs? On Wednesday, we just might. Congress is putting UAPs and UFOs back on the agenda with a joint hearing being called “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.” On this week’s Reality Check, “Ross Coulthart” speaks with one of the hearings main witnesses: Retired Navy Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet, Ph. D.
Gallaudet’s message to Ross: “We have evidence that we are not alone,” and he finds the government’s lack of transparency when it comes to UAPs “very troubling.” Gallaudet outlines what this evidence is and why he’s ready to take an oath and tell the world and this bipartisan group of lawmakers what he knows. Gallaudet stresses to Ross that he is proud to be a champion for finding and exposing the truth about UAPs. His book on his service and experiences “Holding Fast in Heavy Seas: Leadership Lessons for Turbulent Times” comes out in July 2025.
Join Ross for a LIVE Q&A about the hearing. He will answer your questions on YouTube and X this Wednesday at 4p.m. ET.

Researcher says UAPs and nukes are connected
Ross Coulthart sits down with UAP/UFO researcher Robert Hastings to dive deep into claims UAPs and nuclear weapons are connected, government comments about UAPs and what Hastings says he's experienced with nonhumans.
Did aliens trigger several missiles in the 1960s that could have started World War III? Hastings says the government and military members were terrified, and it was kept a secret for decades.
