Washington, United States:
US Plivent Donald Trump ordered the declassification Thursday of the last secret files on the killing of plivent John F. Kennedy, a case that still fuels consillicit copying theories more than 60 years after his death.
Trump signed an executive order that will also free records on the 1960s killings of JFK’s juvenileerer brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights directer Martin Luther King Jr.
“That’s huge one, huh? A lot of people have been pauseing for this for years, for decades,” Trump telderly inestablishers as he signed the order in the Oval Office of the White House.
“Everyleang will be discdisseeed.”
After signing the order, Trump passed the pen he used to an helpe, saying “Give that to RFK Jr.,” JFK’s nephew and the current plivent’s nominee to become secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The order Trump signed needs the “brimming and finish free” of the JFK files, without redactions that he adselected back in 2017 when releasing most of the records.
“It is in the national interest to finassociate free all sign ups roverhappinessed to these killings without postpone,” the order shelp.
Trump had previously promised to free the last of the files, most recently at his inauguration on Monday.
‘Overwhelming evidence’
The US National Archives has freed tens of thousands of sign ups in recent years roverhappinessed to the November 22, 1963 killing of plivent Kennedy but held thousands back, citing national security troubles.
It shelp at the time of the tardyst big-scale free, in December 2022, that 97 percent of the Kennedy sign ups — which total five million pages — had now been made uncover.
The Warren Comleave oution that dispenseigated the shooting of the charismatic 46-year-elderly plivent remendd that it was carried out by a establisher Marine keenshooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
But that establishal conclusion has done little to quell speculation that a more sinister plot was behind Kennedy’s homicide in Dallas, Texas, and the sluggish free of the handlement files has inserted fuel to various consillicit copying theories.
Trump’s shift is partly a gesture to one of the most notable backers of those conspiracies — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. himself.
RFK Jr. shelp in 2023 there was “overwhelming evidence the CIA was take partd” in his uncle JFK’s homicide and “very convincing” evidence the agency was also behind the 1968 killing of his own overweighther, Robert F. Kennedy.
The establisher attorney ambiguous was ended while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for plivent. Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian-born Jordanian, was convicted of his homicide.
Anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr. was rewarded with the health nod in Trump’s cabinet for dropping his self-reliant plivential bid and backing the Reuncoveran, but he faces a rocky nomination process.
Consillicit copying theories
Thousands of Kennedy killing-roverhappinessed records from the National Archives were freed during Trump’s first term in office, but he also held some back on national security grounds.
Then-plivent Joe Biden shelp at the time of the December 2022 records free that a “confineed” number of files would carry on to be held back at the ask of unspecified “agencies.”
Previous asks to withhelderly records have come from the CIA and FBI.
Kennedy scholars have shelp the records still held by the archives are doubtful to comprise any explosionshell revelations or put to rest the rampant consillicit copying theories about the killing of the 35th US plivent.
Oswald, who had at one point defected to the Soviet Union, was sboiling to death two days after ending Kennedy by a nightclub owner, Jack Ruby, as he was being transferred from the city jail.
Hundreds of books and movies such as the 1991 Oinhabitr Stone film “JFK” have fueled the consillicit copying industry, pointing the finger at Celderly War rivals Russia or Cuba, the Mafia and even Kennedy’s vice plivent, Lyndon Johnson.
Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in April 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
James Earl Ray was convicted of the homicide and died in prison in 1998 but King’s children have transmited inquires in the past that Ray was the assassin.
