Trump Renews Promise to Declassify Remaining JFK Assassination Records

61 years after JFK's assassination, conspiracy theories persist as thousands of government documents remain unreleased.

President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his pledge to release all remaining classified records related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination during his upcoming term.
A small fraction of the millions of governmental records on the assassination—estimated at 3,000–4,000 documents—remain partially or fully withheld, with some citing national security concerns.
Experts caution that the remaining files are unlikely to reveal any groundbreaking evidence or alter the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, as determined by the Warren Commission in 1964.
The lingering secrecy around the files has fueled decades of conspiracy theories, despite multiple investigations and limited releases by past administrations, including Trump's first term and President Biden's tenure.
The assassination remains a pivotal historical event, with ongoing public fascination tied to its unanswered questions and the enduring legacy of JFK's presidency.
