President Trump’s order to release previously classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy has unveiled a trove of information, with over 6 million pages of records available for public viewing on the website of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. While the majority of these documents have been previously released, Trump’s directive to make 80,000 files public sheds new light on the events surrounding Kennedy’s tragic death in Dallas. Researchers estimate that around 3,000 records had not been released before, and the FBI recently discovered an additional 2,400 new records related to the assassination.
Despite the anticipation, experts suggest that the newly released documents may not contain any groundbreaking revelations. However, the public’s interest in the details surrounding Kennedy’s assassination remains high. President Trump’s decision to release the documents followed a mandate set in the early 1990s to house all assassination-related records in a single collection at the National Archives, with the requirement that they be opened by 2017. While some files had been released during President Biden’s administration, Trump’s initial promise to release all remaining records was not fully realized due to concerns about national security.
