Trump releases classified JFK files on assassination. Here's what they say.
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday began releasing what it said were all of the government's classified files on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, making potentially tens of thousands of pages of unredacted records available to the public for the first time.
The release of the files comes after Trump signed a day one executive order in January aimed at fully releasing government documents related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother and presidential candidate Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., and civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
The contents of the documents, and whether any previously unreleased information is in them, wasn't immediately clear. Historians quickly said they would need time to assess the flood of files to understand if they were significantly different from previous releases.
So far, nothing in the documents has changed the long-held findings that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963 while the then-president rode in a motorcade in Dallas.
