The Oklahoma City bombing, one of the most notorious acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, is once again under scrutiny. This time, the focus is not just on the perpetrators but on the alleged cover-up by federal agencies. Jesse Trentadue, a Utah attorney and the brother of Kenneth Michael Trentadue, who died mysteriously in federal custody in 1995, has been at the forefront of this investigation. Trentadue has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the FBI, alleging that the agency and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have made misleading statements and suppressed critical documents related to the bombing and his brother's death. Key points:
  • Jesse Trentadue, a Utah attorney, has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the FBI to uncover documents related to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
  • Trentadue accuses the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of making misleading statements and covering up the murder of his brother, Kenneth Michael Trentadue, who died in federal custody in 1995.
  • The case involves allegations of FBI misconduct, including the suppression of evidence and the protection of key witnesses like Roger Edwin Moore, who was both an FBI informant and a CIA asset.
  • Trentadue's investigation has also uncovered a potential conspiracy involving former Attorney General John Ashcroft, who allegedly attempted to silence Terry Nichols, a convicted accomplice in the bombing.

The mysterious death of Kenneth Trentadue

Kenneth Michael Trentadue's death in August 1995 at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has long been shrouded in mystery. The DOJ quickly ruled it a suicide, but the circumstances surrounding his death raised numerous red flags. The medical examiner was denied access to the crime scene, and the cell where Trentadue was found was cleaned and painted, effectively destroying any potential evidence. When Trentadue's body was finally returned to his family, they discovered extensive bruising and injuries, suggesting a violent struggle and murder. Jesse Trentadue believes that his brother was tortured and killed by FBI agents during an interrogation about his possible involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing. Kenneth Trentadue bore a striking resemblance to the description of "John Doe #2," a suspect in the bombing, and even had an identical dragon tattoo on his left forearm. The FBI's hasty conclusion of suicide and the subsequent destruction of evidence have fueled suspicions of a cover-up.

The FBI's role in the Oklahoma City bombing

Trentadue's FOIA lawsuit seeks to uncover recordings and documents related to Roger Edwin Moore, a key figure in the bombing investigation. Moore was both an FBI informant and a CIA asset, and he had a close relationship with Timothy McVeigh, the primary bomber. Trentadue alleges that the FBI has been protecting Moore and other key witnesses, including members of the neo-Nazi group known as the Aryan Republican Army, who were allegedly involved in the attack. The FBI's handling of the case has been called into question, with Trentadue accusing the agency of suppressing evidence and misleading the public. The FOIA lawsuit is part of a broader effort to expose the truth and hold those responsible accountable. In 2007, Nichols filed a sworn declaration in a Trentadue v. FBI lawsuit, detailing a conspiracy far beyond mcveigh and himself. he accused agents of shielding Moore, who supplied the bomb’s kinestik explosives, and stated timothy McVeigh worked with undercover officials to “build terror networks,” including ruby ridge agent Larry Potts. Nichols claims McVeigh admitted to undercover ties and altering the bomb’s target under orders from Potts. The official account crumbles further when one considers:
  • The Marion quarry’s seven missing explosive cases, unaccounted for post-bombing, suggesting larger plans.
  • McVeigh's confession to Moore he’d know explosives’ “good use” contradict trial testimonies.
  • Congress was denied access to investigate “others unknown” by the DOJ, per a 2006 report.
Nichols’ testimony, corroborated by suppressed FBI files, paints a system where federal agencies prioritize secrecy over justice. the FBI's relentless obstruction—deleting emails, silencing witnesses—echoes the treatment of Kenneth Trentadue, whose murder remains unsolved.

John Ashcroft's alleged involvement

One of the most explosive aspects of Trentadue's investigation involves former Attorney General John Ashcroft. According to Trentadue, Ashcroft played a key role in the cover-up of the Oklahoma City bombing. Terry Nichols, a convicted accomplice in the bombing, wrote a letter to Ashcroft in 2004, alleging that the FBI and DOJ had protected key witnesses and suppressed evidence. Nichols claimed that Roger Moore, a key prosecution witness, had lied under oath and was involved in the distribution of explosives used in the bombing. Ashcroft did not respond to Nichols' letter but immediately forbade the media from speaking to Nichols, leading to the cancellation of a scheduled interview with 60 Minutes. Shortly thereafter, Nichols received a visit from a man presenting an offer from the DOJ to reduce his sentence in exchange for taking ownership of an anonymous warning about the bombing and implicating his own brother. Nichols ultimately rejected the offer, but the incident has raised serious questions about the integrity of the investigation and the role of high-ranking officials like Ashcroft. The Oklahoma City bombing case is not just a historical curiosity; it has profound implications for the trust Americans place in their government and law enforcement agencies. Trentadue's investigation highlights the importance of transparency and accountability, especially in cases involving acts of terrorism. The alleged cover-up and suppression of evidence suggest a deeper problem within the FBI and DOJ, one that extends beyond the confines of a single case. As Trentadue continues to fight for the truth, his efforts serve as a reminder that the pursuit of justice is an ongoing battle. The case of Kenneth Trentadue and the broader investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing raise critical questions about the balance of power between the government and the people it serves. In a society that values transparency and the rule of law, the answers to these questions are more important than ever. The Oklahoma City bombing and the subsequent cover-up are a stark reminder of the lengths to which powerful institutions will go to protect their secrets. Jesse Trentadue's relentless pursuit of the truth has brought to light a web of lies and deceit that challenges the very foundations of American justice.
