Washington, Mar 18: Former US president Donald Trump has announced the release of approximately 80,000 pages of unredacted documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The declassified records, set to be made public today, are expected to provide fresh insights into one of the most scrutinized events in American history.
Trump’s announcement fulfils a longstanding commitment to making the JFK files accessible to the public. The release follows Executive Order 14176, signed in January 2025, which directed the declassification of records concerning the assassinations of President Kennedy, Senator Robert F Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The move is being seen as part of a broader effort to enhance government transparency.
The documents, compiled over decades by intelligence agencies, are expected to shed new light on various aspects of the Kennedy assassination. Historians and researchers anticipate that while the files may not dramatically alter the official narrative, they could offer crucial details that have remained undisclosed for years.
The release comes amid continued speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy’s death in 1963. Previous declassifications have fueled debates on whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or if there were hidden political motives behind the assassination. Trump has hinted that some of the contents of the files could be "very interesting," leading to heightened anticipation.
The records will be available for public access later today, and analysts expect them to be examined extensively in the coming days. With this latest development, the decades-long quest for answers surrounding JFK’s assassination takes another significant step forward.
