Trump announces release of remaining JFK assassination files
President Donald Trump announced that his administration would release the remaining files related to the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy on Tuesday. This case has continued to fuel conspiracy theories even 60 years after his death.
Trump made the announcement during a visit to the "Kennedy Center" in Washington. He told reporters, "While we are here, I thought it would be appropriate… tomorrow, we will announce and release all the Kennedy files."
On January 23, Trump signed an executive order calling for the declassification of the Kennedy assassination files. "People have been waiting for this for decades, and I directed the responsible officials… chosen by Tulsi Gabbard to release the documents," referring to the Director of National Intelligence.
The January order also covered documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy’s younger brother, Robert F. Kennedy, as well as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
While Trump did not reveal specific details about the new information contained in the files to be released, he emphasized the volume of documents, stating, "We have a massive amount of papers, you’ll have a lot to read." He added, "I don’t think we will redact anything from them."
In recent years, the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration has released tens of thousands of records related to the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. However, thousands of files have remained classified due to national security concerns.
In December 2022, the administration revealed that 97% of the total records, amounting to five million pages, had now been made public.
The Warren Commission, which investigated the shooting of President Kennedy when he was 46, concluded that former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. However, this official finding did not quell speculation about a possible conspiracy behind Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas. The slow release of government files has only fueled a variety of conspiracy theories.
