Ruby's Hidden Ties Link JFK Assassin to Dallas Clubman
A 1960s web of covert ties connects Jack Ruby to CIA gun running, anti Castro units, and mob figures. Ruby’s meetings with Thomas Davis III, Santo Trafficante, Alfred E. McLane, and Lewis McWillie surface in Warrant Commission records and FBI notes, revealing a clandestine network surrounding the Kennedy era. Davis, a bank robber turned gunrunner, dies in 1973. The CIA and FBI kept key identities secret.
