The Trump administration has made public thousands of previously classified records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. These documents, which have been sealed for decades, are part of a larger effort to reveal the truth about one of the most talked-about events in U.S. history.
The new release adds to the growing collection of files on Kennedy’s assassination, which have been gradually disclosed over the years. In fact, during the Biden administration, a batch of 13,000 documents was made public, though many of them were heavily redacted. Despite these earlier releases, the new records contain information that had not been seen before, offering new insights into the tragic event of November 22, 1963.
Trump himself commented on the significance of the release, saying, “people have been waiting for decades” to view the 80,000 records related to Kennedy’s assassination.
In a move that was widely welcomed, Trump signed an executive order soon after taking office that called for the public release of documents not only about JFK’s death but also those concerning the assassinations of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
This recent release marks another step in the ongoing effort to fully disclose the circumstances surrounding one of America’s most pivotal moments. The continued opening of records gives the public a closer look at the events and investigation that followed Kennedy’s assassination, raising questions that have lingered for more than 60 years.
