The National Archives said the documents, released as more than 1,100 PDF files, comprise “all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection.”
Trump said Monday during a visit to the Kennedy Center in Washington he would make public about 80,000 pages of files, telling reporters “people have been waiting decades for this.”
Trump said “I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything,” adding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was leading the effort to organize the release of the records.
Trump during his first term also promised he would release the files detailing government information on Kennedy’s 1963 assassination, and made some public but bowed to security concerns in withholding others.
