The release of JFK files this week caused a major privacy scandal. Hundreds of Social Security numbers got leaked, including personal info for Trump allies and government workers. Former Trump lawyer Joe diGenova blasted the mess as “outrageous” and “sloppy work.”
DiGenova’s private details appeared in documents about his past work investigating government corruption. He says the leak puts him at risk of identity theft and threats from radicals. He plans to sue the National Archives for failing to protect citizens’ data. “This should never have happened,” he told reporters.
President Trump kept his promise to release all JFK records for full transparency. The move aimed to uncover hidden truths about the 1963 assassination. But critics say bureaucrats rushed the job without proper checks. Over 3,500 Social Security numbers slipped through – some repeated dozens of times.
The White House quickly offered credit monitoring and new Social Security numbers to victims. Officials called it a fix for “incompetent” staff who botched redactions. Trump allies argue this proves deep-state bureaucrats can’t handle sensitive data properly.
Meanwhile, a judge blocked Elon Musk’s team from probing Social Security for fraud claims. The Obama-appointed judge claimed Musk’s group might “expose private info.” Conservatives say this shows double standards – Trump’s transparency gets attacked while real oversight gets blocked.
DiGenova slammed the leaks as proof of government bloat. “Career workers didn’t do their jobs,” he said. The breach highlights dangers of trusting swamp bureaucrats over private experts. Republicans warn similar incompetence fuels waste in welfare programs.
Trump’s release exposed Cold War spy ops but no JFK bombshells. Liberals ignored the privacy risks to attack Trump’s openness. Yet the same people cheer judges stopping honest reviews of voter rolls or benefit programs.
This leak fuels calls to drain the swamp once and for all. Americans deserve truth without incompetent officials risking their safety. Trump’s push for accountability faces endless sabotage from elites protecting their power.
