National Archives Over 1,100 files have been released On Tuesday, after President Trump pledged to release the remaining documents during his campaign trajectory and in office in connection with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The release of the document follows an executive order signed in January, and orders the release of remaining federal documents relating to the assassination of former President Kennedy, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. just days after the start of his second term.
It was not immediately clear which documents had been released in some way before, or in general, a whole new one had been released previously.
The order called on the Director of National Intelligence to present the plan within 15 days for a “full and full release of records” related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy's assassination in November 1963 has long spurred conspiracy theories about who killed President 35, and whether there was a broader conspiracy from others involved. Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marine veteran who identified him as a Marxist, assassinated Kennedy as a convoy passed through Daly Plaza in Dallas.
Dallas Nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald two days later while Oswald was about to be transferred to another prison.
The Warren Committee, formed to investigate the murder, concluded that Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy, and Ruby also killed Oswald. However, there remains a conspiracy theory that includes those who claim to engage from the CIA, the Mafia, and the possibility of a second shooter.
Congress passed a law in 1992 requiring all remaining government records regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy by October 2017, unless certain information poses a risk to the national defense or information.
Trump pledged to release the documents in full during his first semester, but in 2018 he issued an extension to keep certain documents private while releasing some.
The total number of documents released is 1,123, most consisting of several pages, but dozens of pages long. Trump said Monday that more than 80,000 pages in total will be released.
Experts warn that the final batch of documents that have not yet been published is unlikely to contain a major, unseen revelation. The overwhelming majority of files related to the assassination have already been published.
“I said during the campaign I would do it, and I'm the guy of my words,” Trump said in release of the document Monday.
Documents included in Tuesday's archive release referenced a wide range of topics relating to Kennedy's assassination and national security considerations. Several documents mention sources that helped the government at the intelligence newsletter.
Some refer to dictator Fidel Castro's regime and its relationship with Cuba, including the CIA's attempted interference with Cuba's missile crisis.
However, some documents have been edited at least in part, despite Trump saying the release does not include editing. Other documents are difficult to read because of their poor copying.
This release comes after the expected release of files related to the activities of disgraceful investor Jeffrey Epstein, who passed away in 2019. However, the information released in the first phase of the document did not provide new insights as the document was released in court or had previously been reported, causing a stir among the roarers of the Magazine.
