Fri Jan 24 03:29:18 UTC 2025: ## Trump Orders Release of JFK Assassination Files, Others
**Dallas, TX – January 24, 2025** – In a move that has reignited decades-old conspiracy theories, President Donald Trump has ordered the release of thousands of classified documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
The executive order, signed Thursday, directs the release of remaining JFK assassination records within 15 days, and those related to the other two assassinations within 45 days. While Trump stated that “everything will be revealed,” experts remain cautious, suggesting that earth-shattering revelations are unlikely, although some previously unseen details might emerge. The order notes that while no congressional act mandates the release of information on the Kennedy and King assassinations, doing so is in the public interest.
Trump’s decision fulfills a campaign promise, although he previously resisted full declassification during his first term due to concerns raised by the CIA and FBI. Although several million documents have already been released, an estimated 3,000 remain withheld, many originating from the CIA. These unreleased documents could shed further light on the operations of intelligence services at the time, potentially revealing details about Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities before the assassination of JFK.
The newly appointed Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (nephew of JFK), received the pen used to sign the executive order. Kennedy Jr. has himself expressed skepticism about the lone gunman theory surrounding his uncle’s assassination.
The assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., which occurred within two months of each other in 1968, remain subjects of intense historical interest. While James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to King’s assassination, he later recanted his plea. FBI surveillance of King, documented in recently released files and a new documentary, has also fueled ongoing discussions. Sirhan Sirhan remains imprisoned for the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.
While some records, like tax returns, are not subject to disclosure, the release of these documents represents a significant step towards further transparency in these pivotal moments of American history. The actual date of release for the documents remains unclear.
