Final JFK Assassination Documents Released by Trump Administration
The long-awaited declassification fulfills a 1992 law but is unlikely to resolve conspiracy theories or reveal groundbreaking insights.
- The Trump administration has released the remaining classified files related to President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination, completing decades of gradual disclosure mandated by a 1992 law.
- The newly disclosed documents include files previously withheld by the CIA and FBI for national security reasons.
- Experts believe the documents are unlikely to contain significant new revelations or put an end to longstanding conspiracy theories about the assassination.
- The Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but this finding has been widely questioned, fueling speculation involving the Soviet Union, Cuba, the mafia, and U.S. officials.
- Previous releases of JFK-related files largely contained factual but inconclusive information, such as FBI reports that led to dead ends and records of CIA Cold War activities targeting Fidel Castro.
