“I got a lot of reading,” Trump said Monday during his visit to the John Kennedy Center for Dramatic Art. “I don’t think we will revise anything.”
Trump was watering about what would be in these files, but historians claim that there is about 4,700 documents This has not been released yet.
“80,000 pages of unknown materials,” Jefferson Morley, an expert in JFK and the CIA, wrote on his book JFK Facts Blog before issuing the new batch of documents.
Lawyers of the Ministry of Justice throughout the night worked to review hundreds of pages classified before their release.
It was also to see whether this decrease in the document would ultimately put the widespread general doubts of the official interpretation of the government that Ozwald spent on its own.
“People have a lot of doubts,” said Presidential historian Michael Bishland. “There are many conflicting theories. It is very difficult for me to imagine that there will be a single evidence that would make everyone agree on what happened here. What most people agree on is that killing John Kennedy other than history, essentially in a bad way.”

But below Head of assassination records collection John F. Kennedy 1992It was assumed that all the assassination documents were released by 2017, when Trump was the first time.
Trump released some JFK documents, but he also gave intelligence agencies more time to evaluate the remaining files.
It was not until December 2022 that President Joe Biden It released more than 13,000 Records after Marie Ferrell FoundationThe largest non -profit depot in the country for JFK assassinations, prosecution Management to make all documents public.
But Biden issued only about 98 % of all the killing documents that remained in National archivesany John F. Kennedy.
“It is time for the government to present its work and obey the soul and the mission of law,” said Morley, who is also the non -partisan Marie Ferrell Vice President, at the time.
Morley said: “This is about our history and our right to know.”
4700 or so Records kept under the winding It is believed to have included more information about Oswald’s Sojourn in Mexico City before the assassination of JFK.
Among those documents 44 of the then CIA agent, George Guwandus and a confidential program, Cuba was running in contact with Ozwald less than four months before Kennedy, according to the accounts of JFK researchers with Marie Ferrell Foundation.
in note In order to explain the reason not to issue some documents, Biden pointed out that the record law “allows the postponement of the detection of information … only when the postponement remains necessary to protect from the specified damage to military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the behavior of foreign relations that are considered gravity that exceeds the public interest in the higher disc.”
Prominent historians did not buy this interpretation.
“We are 59 years after President John Kennedy was killed and there was no justification for this,” said Judge John Tonheim, who chaired the assassination records review council from 1994 to 1998, when Biden released the records.
