The federal government released tens of thousands of pages regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Ordered by President Donald Trump, this release comes after years of declassification efforts dating back to the 1990s. White House spokesman Harrison Fields suggested the documents would offer shocking insights into JFK's assassination, though much of the content has been previously released. The National Archives shared over 1,100 new records totaling over 31,000 pages, adding to the existing 6 million pages related to the case.
The National Archives published the documents at the order of President Donald Trump, who on Monday told reporters at the Kennedy Center that officials would release "all of the Kennedy files" Tuesday.
White House spokesman Harrison Fields promoted the upcoming records release, saying: "The American people will have their hands on these documents, and there will be a story to tell."
This release includes tens of thousands of pages; the National Archives on Tuesday initially released more than 1,100 records totaling more than 31,000 pages.
The vast majority of the Archives' 6 million pages of records related to the assassination have already been declassified, according to the agency's website.
