Trump to Release 80,000 JFK Assassination Documents Today

The release, organized by former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, promises full transparency without government redactions. Trump announced on Truth Social, "Americans deserve to know the truth. No more secrets, no more cover-ups."

The documents are expected to reveal:
- Previously classified CIA and FBI communications about Lee Harvey Oswald
- Potential foreign government involvement
- Secret testimonies from government officials
- Internal discussions about information restrictions
Originally mandated for release by the JFK Records Act of 1992, these files were delayed by both Trump and Biden administrations citing national security concerns. Now, with legal barriers cleared, the complete archive will be accessible through a government portal.
While transparency advocates celebrate this release, some government officials warn of potential diplomatic and national security implications. The documents could finally address whether Oswald acted alone or as part of a larger conspiracy, potentially reshaping our understanding of the November 22, 1963 assassination.
The timing aligns with Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, reinforcing his stance against government secrecy. Historians, journalists, and researchers are preparing to analyze these records, which may confirm or challenge long-held theories about one of America's most significant historical events.
Experts will begin analyzing the documents immediately to assess their impact on existing JFK assassination narratives and their implications for American history.
