U.S. President Donald Trump has released a trove of documents related to the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a campaign promise to provide greater transparency on the historic event.
An initial batch of files was published on the National Archives website, with more than 80,000 documents expected to be made public. The release follows a last-minute review by Justice Department lawyers handling sensitive national security matters.
Among the declassified materials are memos detailing CIA and State Department records, including a 1964 Warren Commission interview addressing inconsistencies in information about Soviet-American marriages. Other files reference conspiracy theories about Lee Harvey Oswald’s possible ties to the Soviet Union and highlight U.S. efforts to counter Fidel Castro’s influence in Latin America.
Despite the document dump, experts caution that the files are unlikely to alter the long-standing conclusion that Oswald acted alone.
"People expecting big things are almost certain to be disappointed," said historian Larry Sabato, who has studied the case extensively.
Trump has also pledged to release files related to the 1968 assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, though no timeline has been set.
While the documents may shed light on Oswald’s movements before the assassination, the broader mystery surrounding Kennedy’s death continues to fuel speculation.
"People have been waiting for decades for this," Trump said. "It’s going to be very interesting."
