Here's what to know.
Briefly

A new release of government documents related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination was made public, ordered by President Trump. Historians and scholars are hopeful for new insights into the event that shocked the nation, yet they do not anticipate major revelations. These documents, totaling 1,123 PDF files, are unorganized and contain some redacted information, which adds to the challenges in examining them. Experts believe this release may be one of the final sets of papers available on the assassination and will require time to analyze.
Unlike previous releases of records related to the Kennedy assassination, these documents were not categorized or presented in any organized way.
Historians have said they do not expect major new revelations in these documents, which are limited compared to the thousands of files already available to the public.
This dump is profoundly more impenetrable than all the previous more annotated ones, said David J. Garrow, a historian who has written extensively about the intelligence agencies.
Scholars said it would take time to go through all the documents in hopes of discovering at least a few new revelations about the last time a sitting president was killed in office.
