U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the release of approximately 80,000 pages of classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The long-awaited files will be made public on Tuesday.
"People have been waiting for decades for this," Trump said during a visit to The Kennedy Center in Washington, calling the revelations "very interesting."
Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to release records concerning the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The FBI later confirmed the discovery of thousands of previously unseen documents tied to JFK’s assassination.
During his first week in office, Trump signed an order committing to declassify these files, promising unprecedented transparency regarding the 1968 assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy as well.
The release is expected to shed new light on one of the most scrutinized moments in U.S. history, fueling ongoing debates and conspiracy theories surrounding JFK’s murder. Researchers, historians, and the public eagerly anticipate insights from the documents, hoping for answers to long-standing questions.
This move marks a significant step in government transparency and could provide critical details about the events leading up to Kennedy’s death. As the world watches, the unveiling of these documents may reshape the historical narrative surrounding the tragic event.
