Trump Orders Release of JFK Assassination Files

Following a directive from President Donald Trump, the National Archives and Records Administration released approximately 80,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on March 18, 2025. The documents, which are now available for public viewing, come more than 60 years after JFK's assassination and amid ongoing public interest and skepticism regarding the circumstances surrounding his death. While some experts doubt that the newly released files will provide groundbreaking revelations, they still hold significant interest for historians and conspiracy theorists alike. Trump emphasized that this release reflects a commitment to transparency, although it remains unclear if the files will counter the conclusions of the Warren Commission regarding Lee Harvey Oswald's lone involvement. The release is part of a broader initiative that includes unsealing documents related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. The National Archives continues to digitize and make additional records available online.
