Overview

  • Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced that Russia will release previously withheld KGB records on JFK’s 1963 assassination to the public this fall.
  • The forthcoming files are expected to include Soviet assessments of Lee Harvey Oswald’s shooting ability and challenge his lone-gunman designation.
  • Lawmakers believe the disclosures could expose new evidence of CIA involvement or cover-up in the lead-up to and aftermath of the assassination.
  • Earlier stages of the declassification effort produced nearly 13,000 records in 2022 and over 2,000 pages in March under President Trump’s executive order.
  • Failed attempts by U.S. investigators in the 1990s to obtain these files underscore the significance of the upcoming Soviet-era intelligence disclosures.
