Donald Trump Pledges to Release Remaining JFK Assassination Files

The incoming U.S. president also promises to disclose documents related to the deaths of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., reigniting public interest in decades-old conspiracies.

Donald Trump, set to be inaugurated as U.S. president, has announced plans to release remaining classified files on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Trump also committed to making documents on the deaths of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. publicly accessible in the coming days.
The National Archives states that over 99% of the approximately five million JFK-related documents are already available, but some remain classified due to security concerns raised by intelligence agencies.
Trump previously promised full disclosure during his first term, but withheld some files at the request of the CIA and FBI, citing national security risks.
Despite decades of investigations concluding Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, public skepticism persists, with surveys showing a majority of Americans believe in alternative theories.
