Trump administration releases new John F. Kennedy assassination records

The Trump administration has released thousands of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that it said had previously been classified, writes CNN.

More context: Many of the files related to the JFK assassination have already been disclosed, including a tranche of 13,000 documents released during the Biden administration. Many of those documents have contained redactions, however.

Trump said yesterday that “people have been waiting for decades” to see the 80,000 records related to Kennedy’s assassination. Soon after taking office, he signed an executive order directing the public release of thousands of files related to the assassinations of Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

What’s next: CNN reporters are currently reviewing the documents and will have updates on any new revelations.
