Classified files pertaining to JFK’s assassination were made available to the public on March 18, 2025 through the US National Archives and Records Administration’s website. Donald Trump suddenly made the announcement of the release of files on March 17, 2025 as he visited the John F Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington.
Regarding the volume of the available material, Trump had said, “We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading.” However, the Trump administration’s promise of releasing a whopping 80,000 pages did not materialize as only more than 31,000 pages’ worth of 1,100 documents were made available.
While not all of the documents have been released, whatever is available now includes a November 1991 memo from the CIA’s St Petersburg station. The memo said that during the early parts of the month, a CIA officer had become friends with an US professor, who told him about a friend working for the KGB.
The memo also mentioned that the KGB official had gone through “five thick volumes” of files dealing with Oswald and was “‘confident that Oswald was at no time an agent controlled by the KGB.
