Yes, today, March 19, 2025, the Trump administration released approximately 80,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
These records, now accessible through the National Archives, provide insights into various aspects of the assassination, including Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities and U.S. intelligence operations at the time.
The release follows Executive Order 14176, signed by President Trump on January 23, 2025, which mandated the declassification of records concerning the assassinations of President Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
While some documents had been previously declassified, this release aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the events surrounding these historical figures.
However, not all documents have been made public. Some records, particularly those from the IRS and FBI, remain classified due to national security concerns.
Additionally, Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President Kennedy, expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of prior notification to the Kennedy family about the release, suggesting possible political motivations behind the timing.
Researchers and the public can access the declassified records online through the National Archives’ official website or visit the archives in person at College Park, Maryland. The digitization process is ongoing, and more documents will be available online as they are processed.
