The Trump administration declassified thousands of documents concerning the 1963 assassination of JFK, totaling over 60,000 pages. The release included 2,182 PDFs uploaded to the National Archives. This decision culminated from an executive order initiated by Trump in January, aimed at transparency surrounding JFK, RFK, and MLK's deaths. Historians are now tasked with examining these documents, many handwritten or typewritten, to discern if they provide new insights into JFK's assassination, which has remained a source of speculation for decades.
On Tuesday evening, 2,182 PDF documents, comprising about 63,400 pages, were uploaded to the US National Archives and Records Administration's website. The documents were released in two rounds, a few hours apart.
Many of the documents were handwritten or typewritten. Trump issued an executive order on January 23, announcing that documents pertaining to the deaths of JFK, as well as his younger brother, Senator Robert F Kennedy (RFK) and civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr (MLK) would be declassified.
