Eamonn Holmes admits ‘I’m irritated’ as he casts doubt over JFK theory: ‘You’re both wrong’
GB News star Eamonn Holmes has said the release of files surrounding John F Kennedy’s assassination and Prince Harry’s visa have left him “irritated”.
Speaking to co-host Nana Akua and sports reporter Paul Coyote, he said nothing new has been learnt in either case.
Eamonn was more passionate in his views about JFK’s assassination, which he feels did not pan out the way history books tell us.
“I’m a bit irritated”, he admitted.
“It’s all redacted. We don’t learn anything new about this. I have been fascinated by this since I was a kid.”
Coyte cast doubt over conspiracies surrounding the killing of JFK, saying he believes the official line, which is that he was fatally shot by former US Marine Lee Harvey Oswald.

Eamonn probed: “How do you explain the different brain in the post-mortem? The doctor in Dallas who was there to do the post-mortem wasn’t allowed to do it.
“They took the body away and had the time to do anything they wanted. There were definitely two shooters involved in this.
“Look at the puff of smoke from the grassy knoll.”
Coyte said: “Maybe I’m extremely naive. I think Oswald did it and did it alone. He was a trained marksman.”
Eamonn said that if Oswald acted alone, it was “superlative shooting”.
Nana appeared to side with Paul, saying perhaps Oswald “had a good shot”, a remark which prompted Eamonn to say “you’re both wrong”.
“Oswald got the technology wrong. There was a big chance here to tell people. But who is going to admit if there is a conspiracy?”
President Trump signed an executive order in January directing the government to release the remaining documents.
“I’m going to release them immediately,” Trump said after signing the order.
“President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency,” said Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence.
More than 1,100 files consisting of over 31,000 pages were posted online.
Trump had announced the release on Monday whilst visiting the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.
He told reporters his administration would be releasing about 80,000 pages.
“I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything,” Trump added.
Among the most striking revelations in the newly released files is the account of CIA operative Gary Underhill, who fled Washington in a hurry the day after Kennedy’s assassination.
Underhill told friends in New Jersey that “a small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination,” according to the unredacted documents.
He appeared agitated and feared for his life, telling friends he might need to leave the country.
The documents note that Kennedy had “got wind that something was going on” before his death.
Less than six months after his alarming confession, Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment.
The coroner ruled it suicide, but the newly released files note this conclusion is “by no means convincing”.
The location of the wound, behind his left ear, was described as “odd” since Underhill was right-handed.
His body was discovered by Asher Brynes of the New Republic, who noted Underhill had been dead for several days.
