His government Donald Trump gave Tuesday (18.03.2025) to publicity Thousands of records related to the murder of former US president John F. Kennedy In 1963, seeking to honor his pre -election promise of greater transparency of the shocking event in Texas.
Donald Trump signed last January, Decree to declassify files of the US government for the Murders of President John F. Kennedy, his brother, Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, and the leader of the citizen’s rights movement Martin Luther King Junior the same year.
Many of Kennedy’s murder files have already been released by the Biden government, such as volume with 13,000 documents. However, many of the documents given yesterday had previously been deleted.
“The world has been waiting for decades” to see the 80,000 pages of files related to Kennedy’s murder, Trump had said last Monday.
The documents posted on the national archives website on Tuesday night. It may take a long time until the researchers who have been involved in the murder of JFK can study the recently posted 1,123 documents, which were recognized only with file numbers and not descriptions.
But There is no indication that files will contain some shocking itemsaccording to a man who has already seen many of the files.
THE Tom Samoluk He was deputy director of the Assassination Records Review Board, a government group formed in the 1990s to study the murder -related records. He and a group of dozens of people re -examined a number of documents for the publication between 1994 and 1998.
By what he examined, There is nothing that changes today’s conclusion about Kennedy’s murder: that a lonely armed man, Lee Harvey Oswald, was responsible for his death.
“The collection of files we examined, the overwhelming majority of which were released – some were kept secret or partly – if we are talking about it, then there is no unmistakable proof,” Tom Samoluk told CNN.
“If there was something that touched the core of the murder, the Review Committee would have released it in the mid -1990s. So there is a sense of what the files are, “he continued.
Tulsi Gabbard National Information Director reported that The files contain “about 80,000 pages of classified files to be published without corrections”.
There are additional documents, he said, “withheld under a judicial stamp or for the confidentiality of the jurors and the records subject to Article 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code must be eliminated prior to the publication”. The national records are working with the Ministry of Justice to speed up the opening of these files, he added.
Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia, who wrote the book “The Kennedy Half-Century: The Presidency, Assassination, and Lasting Legacy of John F. Kennedy”, warned that the public could be disappointed by the lack of revelation.
“I just tell you that we will learn things,” Sabato said. “But they may not be about the murder of Kennedy and the people waiting, you know, to solve the case after 62 years, will be bitterly disappointed,” he added.
