(PRNewsChannel) / November 16, 2009 / Washington, D.C. / With the anniversary of the JFK assassination on Sunday, a presidential historian and publisher of presidential memoirs announced this morning that he will file a lawsuit against the federal government calling for the release of remaining secret documents relating to the death of former President John F. Kennedy.
Tim Miller, publisher of Nashville, Tenn.-based FlatSigned Press, says because this is the first anniversary since the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, whom he believes has quietly blocked the release of the file, he believes this is the year to push for the release of the documents.
“The Kennedy family wants to keep this information buried,” says Miller. “I believe there is information that is damaging to President Kennedy and they want it kept secret, but the American people deserve answers.”
Miller called for the release of the secret files during a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Besides his own natural curiosity as a student of history, Miller said he is looking for vindication.
Ford Family Threatens to Sue
Miller is the publisher of President Ford’s final memoir. In that memoir, Ford, who served on the Warren Commission which investigated the JFK assassination, reveals the CIA destroyed documents associated with the assassination.
A team of Ford family lawyers have threatened to sue Miller and FlatSigned Press claiming in interviews that the company fabricated the statements to sell books.
“Mr. Ford read the book and even months after it was published asked for more copies to give to his friends and associates,” says Miller. “Mr. Ford knew what he wrote and had no regrets. These files that I hope will be released will tell the American public the full story of the JFK assassination and I believe will back-up President Ford’s statements despite his family’s claim that he never said it.”
John F. Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas. The assassination is still the subject of widespread debate and has produced numerous conspiracy theories.
