Thousands of pages of long-awaited records related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy were finally released on Tuesday afternoon, fulfilling a promise made by President Trump. The release of these documents, prepared by a team underneath U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, shed light on various aspects of the assassination that have intrigued historians and conspiracy theorists for decades.
Among the 1,123 documents released were details about Lee Harvey Oswald’s travels, surveillance efforts in Cuba and Mexico prior to the assassination, and assessments from a former KGB agent indicating that Oswald was not controlled by the Russian agency. While some files remain under court seal or other protections, efforts are underway to unseal them for further transparency.
The release of these records has sparked mixed reactions, with some members of the Kennedy family praising the move for promoting transparency, while others criticize it as a political ploy. The Sixth Floor Museum in Downtown Dallas, located at the site of the former Texas School Book Depository where Oswald shot Kennedy, also expressed its commitment to reviewing the documents with authenticity and respect.
This latest release adds to the over 5 million pages of documents related to Kennedy’s assassination that have been released over the years, providing new insights and fueling ongoing debate about the tragic event that changed the course of American history. As historians and scholars continue to delve into these records, the quest for answers surrounding Kennedy’s assassination remains ongoing.
