Trump to Release 80,000 Unredacted JFK Assassination Files Today

The release fulfills a campaign promise and includes newly discovered documents, but experts caution against expecting major revelations.

  • President Donald Trump announced the release of 80,000 pages of unredacted files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, scheduled for this afternoon.
  • The files include approximately 2,400 newly discovered documents identified by the FBI in February 2025, alongside previously withheld materials.
  • This release follows a January 2025 executive order also covering files related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
  • Historians and experts believe the files are unlikely to contain significant new evidence that would alter the official conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
  • The documents are expected to shed light on CIA surveillance of Oswald, including his visits to Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City prior to the assassination.
