In a major step toward transparency, the U.S. National Archives (NARA) has declassified over 63,000 pages related to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. This release, initiated by Donald Trump’s executive order, includes 2,200 previously withheld or redacted files, now accessible online and at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
Historians are analyzing these JFK assassination files, uncovering details about Lee Harvey Oswald, including his time in Mexico City and interactions with Soviet officials. While the documents provide deeper insights into geopolitical tensions, some key FBI files remain missing.
The assassination on November 22, 1963, has fueled countless conspiracy theories, especially after Jack Ruby shot Oswald before trial. Among the newly released names is journalist Gary Underhill, who claimed knowledge of a conspiracy, and JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, who continues to explore his grandfather’s legacy.
Although this disclosure sheds light on JFK assassination records, it also sparks new questions, keeping the debate alive for years to come.
