On January 23, Donald Trump signed an executive order to release remaining classified files concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy, emphasizing the public's right to access these records. The order also addresses documents related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. It requires federal officials to develop a plan to release these files. While the announcement has generated interest, experts caution that the actual declassification process could be lengthy, hindered by other governmental priorities and current leadership vacancies in key departments.
"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."
"Everything will be revealed," he said as he signed the order in Sharpie.
Polls have long shown that a majority of Americans do not believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in Kennedy's death.
The executive order demands that the attorney general and director of national intelligence 'present a plan within 15 days for the full and complete release' of the JFK assassination records.
