Trump Administration publishes new JFK attacks – Boston News, Wetter, Sport

(CNN) – The Trump administration released thousands of records on Tuesday that were on the murder of President John F. Kennedy in connection with the murder of President John F. Kennedy, who had previously been classified.

Many of the files related to the JFK murder have already been disclosed, including a tranche of 13,000 documents published during the bidges. However, many of the documents published on Tuesday were previously reduced.

Trump said on Monday that “people have been waiting for decades” to see the 80,000 pages of records in connection with Kennedy's attack. Shortly after taking office, he signed an executive order in which the publication of thousands of files in connection with the attacks by Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

The documents were published on the National Archives website on Tuesday evening. It can take some time for researchers who have examined the JFK attack that the newly published 1,123 documents can go through that were only identified by data record numbers and no descriptions.

However, there is no indication that the files are contained, according to a man who has already seen many of the records.

Tom Samulok was a deputy director of the review committee for Assassination Records, a government committee founded in the 1990s to examine records in connection with the assassination attempt. Between 1994 and 1998, he and a team of dozens examined documents for the publication of the publication.

According to what he checked, there is nothing to change the current conclusion of Kennedy's attack: that a lonely shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, was responsible for his death.

“The collection of records that we have checked, the vast majority of which have been published – some were classified in whole or in part – when we talk about it, there is no smoking weapon,” he said in a telephone interview.

“If there had been something that had cut the core of the assassination, the review committee would have published it in the mid -1990s.

In a statement, director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that the records “contain about 80,000 pages of classified records that are published without editors”.

There are additional documents, she said, which “is held back under court seal or for the confidentiality of the Grand Jury, and records that are available according to Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code do not have to be sealed”.

The National Archives works with the Ministry of Justice to accelerate the extension of these records, added.

Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia, the “The Kennedy half a century: the presidency, attack and permanent heritage by John F. Kennedy” warned that the public could be disappointed with the lack of revelations.

“I only tell you that we will learn things,” said Sabato. “But it may not be about the Kennedy attack and people who expect to crack the case after 61 years, will be bitterly disappointed.”

Kennedy's assassination has long fueled conspiracy theories, some of which have been voted by Trump. This is part of why the review committee was led by Samulok was created – to assess whether records in connection with the assassination attempt could be published.

Samulok admitted that he did not see all the records that could possibly be published.

For example, the FBI said last month that around 2,400 new records in connection with the JFK attack from a new search search for Trump's executive order.

There could also be other records in additional agencies that have also not yet been published, said Samulok, who would make a new bucket with documents that was previously not seen by his commission.

And he said that there could still be points of interest in the remaining records that would help close gaps in the existing knowledge, including information from the CIA in connection with Oswald's movements before the assassination attempt on November 22, 1963.

In 2023, the national archives closed the review of the classified documents in connection with the assassination attempt. 99% of the records were made available to the public, CNN previously reported.

President Joe Biden then published a memo that was certified that the archivist had completed the review and confirmed that the remaining documents that had been authorized to publish had been released – and that a previously defined period had been adhered to.

Despite the earlier promise of President, including Trump, the CIA, the Pentagon and the Foreign Ministry still have documents that they have refused. The reason for these documents that remain is largely based on efforts to protect the identity of confidential sources that are still alive or may be alive and to protect the methods.

During the first term in Trump, he agreed not to publish the complete tranche of records in connection with Kennedy's attack on request for national security authorities. But Trump on the 2024 campaign path said he would publish the remaining documents.
