Iran Press/ America: Recently declassified documents published by the US National Archives reveal that former Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo, who served as the country's leader from 1976 to 1982, was allegedly an asset of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The documents, which were part of a CIA probe into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, include a memo from a meeting of CIA agents on November 29, 1976.
According to the declassified documents published by the US National Archives, US intelligence official Bill Sturbitts reportedly informed his colleagues during a meeting that "Mexico will soon have a new president, a man who has had control of Liaison for a number of years". Although former Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo was not explicitly mentioned by name in the memo, the timing of the meeting just a few days before he assumed the presidency suggests a potential connection.
