Trump releases 80,000 JFK assassination documents

President Trump has released 80,000 pages of unredacted documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This event took place over 60 years ago and is still a topic of great public interest. Despite the release, experts believe it may not end speculation about the killing. Trump shared this news while visiting the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He stated that people have been waiting for decades for these documents. However, he did not provide details about their content. The released documents make up only a small part of the millions held by the National Archives. Many people, both researchers and conspiracy theorists, hope the files will unveil new information about Kennedy's assassination. John Shaw, a JFK expert, highlighted the lasting impact of the tragic event on American history and culture. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas. He was shot in the neck and head and died shortly after. Lee Harvey Oswald, identified as the assassin, was arrested but killed two days later. Official reports state that Oswald acted alone, but numerous conspiracy theories have emerged over the years. A recent Gallup poll showed that many Americans believe Oswald did not act alone. Alternative theories often make the narrative more intriguing for the public. The continued interest in these theories led Congress to pass a law in 1992, requiring the release of assassination-related documents. Trump had previously released some documents in 2017 but delayed others. After beginning his second term, he signed an order for the release of all records related to the Kennedy assassination, as well as those concerning Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassinations. Experts, like Shaw, believe that even with the new release, discussions about Kennedy's death will persist. The official documents may not satisfy public curiosity about other potential truths.
