President to Release 80,000 Pages of JFK Assassination Records 

United States: President Donald Trump will release about 80,000 pages of data regarding the 1963 Texas assassination of President John F. Kennedy which he plans to unveil on Tuesday as part of his campaign pledge to provide improved transparency about the tragic event, as reported by Reuters. 

“You’ll Make Your Own Determination,” Says Trump 

“It’s a lot of stuff, and you’ll make your own determination,” Trump told reporters about the pages on Monday. 

The day after becoming president Trump issued an executive order that led to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation discovering new Kennedy assassination records in Dallas.

Government’s Official Stance vs. Public Beliefs 

The United States government assigns sole responsibility for President Kennedy’s death to one man named Lee Harvey Oswald. Multiple federal government entities continued to reassert their conclusion about the single-gunman explanation throughout the following decades. Results from public opinion polls indicate that American citizens overwhelmingly hold the position that Kennedy’s death was caused by agents of a covert organization. 

The latest documentation release fails to challenge established facts that Oswald fired bullets at Kennedy from a school warehouse window as the presidential motorcade drove along a Dallas road. 

“People expecting big things are almost certain to be disappointed,” said Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, who authored a book about the assassination. 

Trump replied that these pages might comprise republished materials with redacted words from earlier publications. 

Future Releases on MLK and Robert Kennedy Assassinations 

Through his presidential promises Donald Trump revealed plans to disclose information regarding the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy that both of which occurred in 1968. 

The Trump administration extended additional time to officials responsible with developing a release plan. 

According to Donald Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy maintains that his uncle’s death was orchestrated by the Central Intelligence Agency despite the agency labeling these claims baseless. 

Official reports did not align with Kennedy Jr.’s claim that a group of gunmen murdered his father.

What Could the New Records Reveal?

These operative records might reveal that the CIA knew more about what Oswald was doing than they have admitted publicly. The CIA’s knowledge about Oswald spending time in Mexico City six weeks before the assassination remains unclear. During his visit to Mexico City Oswald stopped at the Soviet embassy, as reported by Reuters.

Trump expressed his belief that people had been waiting for decades to see this milestone achieved. People have waited for decades for this upcoming event which promises to be extremely intriguing.
