Trump to declassify 'all of' JFK assassination files, including 80,000 unredacted pages TODAY
Trending | World | Trump is set to fulfil his campaign promise by releasing the JFK files, a significant step towards transparency in one of America's most scrutinised cases.
US President Donald Trump on Monday (Mar 17) announced that his administration will release the long-awaited JFK files on the assassination of former president John F Kennedy, promising full transparency by making 80,000 unredacted pages public.
President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, while riding in an open-top limousine alongside First Lady Jackie Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the crime, but speculation about the involvement of other people—including intelligence agencies—has fuelled decades of conspiracy theories.
While visiting the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on Monday, Trump reiterated his commitment to the release, telling reporters: "While we're here, I thought it would be appropriate— we are, tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files."
"So, people have been waiting for decades for this, and I've instructed my people… lots of different people, Tulsi Gabbard, that they must be released tomorrow."

His order, signed on January 23, stated: "More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events.
"Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay."
