In a historic move, former President Donald Trump has announced the release of approximately 80,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK).
The long-awaited files are set to be unveiled today, March 18, 2025, marking the most comprehensive public disclosure of JFK assassination records in decades.
Trump has repeatedly vowed to make these files available without redactions, fulfilling a campaign promise to bring full transparency to one of the most debated events in American history. According to sources close to the effort, the documents have been organized under the direction of former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, ensuring that the information is released in its entirety without government interference.
“Americans deserve to know the truth,” Trump stated in a post on Truth Social late Monday night. “No more secrets, no more cover-ups. Today, we set history straight.”
The documents, which have been withheld from public view for decades, are expected to contain previously unseen details regarding CIA operations, classified communications, witness testimonies, and potential foreign involvement in JFK’s assassination. Historians and researchers have long speculated that these records could provide definitive answers about the roles of various intelligence agencies and whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or as part of a larger conspiracy.
Among the expected revelations:
- New CIA and FBI Communications: Previously classified memos detailing intelligence operations surrounding Oswald before and after the assassination.
- Foreign Government Links: Records that may confirm or refute theories regarding Cuban, Soviet, or other international involvement.
- Secret Testimonies: Depositions from government officials, including some who questioned the Warren Commission’s findings.
- Potential Cover-Ups: Internal discussions among U.S. government agencies about restricting access to assassination-related information.
The JFK Records Act of 1992 required all assassination-related files to be disclosed by 2017. However, both Trump and President Joe Biden postponed full releases, citing national security concerns. Now, with no further legal barriers in place, Trump has taken it upon himself to deliver the long-awaited transparency.
Political analysts suggest that Trump’s timing is also strategic. As he continues his campaign for the 2024 presidential election, the move reinforces his stance against the so-called ‘deep state’ and positions him as a leader willing to challenge government secrecy.
The documents will be available for public viewing on a designated government portal later today. Historians, journalists, and conspiracy theorists alike are gearing up for a deep dive into the records, eager to uncover long-buried secrets.
While Trump’s move is being celebrated by transparency advocates, some government officials have warned that the release could have diplomatic and national security implications. Regardless, today marks a monumental day in American history, one that could reshape public understanding of JFK’s assassination and the government’s role in investigating it.
Stay tuned as experts analyze the newly released records and assess whether they confirm or debunk the many conspiracy theories surrounding that fateful day in Dallas, November 22, 1963.
