A former CIA agent has revealed what we could expect after the contents of never-before-seen documents relating to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy are set to be released by President Donald Trump.

Re-elected to the White House last year, Trump is now expected to follow through on his pledge to declassify documents relating to the murder of JFK; one of the most consequential events in 20th century American history.

JFK's assassination on the 22 November, 1963 was carried out by Lee Harvey Oswald, a former US Marine-turned-Soviet defector, who was killed two days later by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby while in police custody.

But to this day, many speculate that the story doesn't end there, with conspiracy theorists enamored with his Soviet links and the alleged role of US government agencies ever since.

Among these speculators is former Central Intelligence Agency officer Mike Baker, who spoke openly on the case in an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.

It comes as Trump signed an executive order to release the files relating to JFK.

In conversation with Rogan, Baker theorises that 'one of the reasons why some of these things were withheld is because it's embarrassing to the CIA and FBI'.

Questions surrounding the actions of the CIA prior to Kennedy's assassination remain at the forefront of public speculation. Oswald was already on the CIA's radar due to his defection to the USSR and attempts to join the 1960's Communist movement through the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico.

Having moved to the USSR with the ambition of staying, Oswald went to the US embassy in Moscow on 31 October, 1959 to renounce his prior US citizenship.

His discussion with US interviewing officer Richard Edward Snyder included threats of disclosing information about the Marine corps to Soviet officials, prompting his military reserve discharge to be changed to 'undesirable' and alarming Americans as the press reported the tale of a respected Marine who fled to the Soviet Union.

However, having never formally renounced his US citizenship, Oswald applied for documentation that allowed his wife to migrate to the US in order to give birth, paving the way for their return to the States in June 1961.

Baker draws on Oswald's history to forecast that 'we may find that the CIA was not proactive enough, and didn't work well enough with the FBI'.

Despite the abundance of theories and unanswered questions since that fateful afternoon in Dallas, Baker anticipates that 'there is no smoking gun' to be found in these documents. He claims that their imminent release is unlikely to 'stop people from believing what they believe' or 'put anything to rest'.

Trump's decision to release the documents stems from a promise made to newly-appointed US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr (known as RFK Jr), hoping to reveal new information about the assassinations of both his uncle, JFK, and father, Bobby Kennedy.

Baker appears adamant the documents are likely to be inconclusive, but also questions whether 'history changes' if the CIA had kept a closer eye on him.

Regardless of what emerges following the declassification of the documents, JFK's assassination remains one of the most pertinent questions of political intrigue in modern history.
