Trump to Release 80,000 JFK Assassination Files: 'Very Interesting'

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he plans to release approximately 80,000 unredacted files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The files will be made public on Tuesday, marking a significant moment for historians and conspiracy theorists alike.

Trump revealed the decision during a tour of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. He stated, "While we’re here, I thought it would be appropriate... tomorrow, we are announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files. People have been waiting for decades for this." He emphasized that there will be no redactions, adding, "I said, ‘just don’t redact, you can’t redact.’"

In January, Trump signed an executive order mandating the release of federal documents concerning the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The move was part of his promise during his 2024 campaign to unveil previously classified information, addressing long-standing speculation and conspiracy theories.

Back during his first term, Trump had pledged to release all JFK-related files. However, he withheld hundreds of records citing concerns over national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs, stating that the potential harm outweighed public interest in immediate disclosure. This decision drew criticism from transparency advocates but was supported by agencies like the CIA and FBI.

It’s worth noting that the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, has remained a hotbed for conspiracy theories. Many continue to question whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, fueling decades of speculation about a second shooter.

Trump described the upcoming release as "very interesting," leaving the public curious about what these decades-old documents may reveal. Will they shed new light on one of America’s most enduring mysteries, or will they simply fuel the flames of speculation further?
