On Thursday, President Trump issued an executive order to declassify documents tied to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. He asserted that transparency is vital for the families affected and for the American public. The JFK assassination files, previously intended to be released in 2017, have been withheld due to national security concerns. Trump expressed that the ongoing suppression of these records is against the public interest. He also mentioned plans for a new commission to further investigate and disclose related documents.
Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.
I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue.
