JFK files released by Trump administration related to assassination

Washington — The Trump administration on Tuesday evening released tens of thousands of pages of government documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, weeks after President Trump ordered government agencies to unveil their JFK files to the public.

The documents were uploaded by the National Archives and Records Administration, the agency responsible for housing the government's collection of records related to the assassination. The Archives said Tuesday of the JFK files that "all records previously withheld for classification" have been released. Not all of the files are available online yet, however. Some are available "in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats" at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the records that are only available in person are being digitized and will be uploaded to the Archives in the coming days. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will post updates on social media, and the records will also be on the White House website.

Shortly after taking office in January, the president took executive action to establish a process to declassify and release any remaining documents related to Kennedy's killing, as well as the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. The order instructed the director of national intelligence and attorney general to present the president with a plan for the "full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy."
