JUST IN: Trump Announces The Imminent Release Of All JFK Files
President Donald Trump has announced that the long-awaited declassification of all remaining files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy will take place tomorrow.
“We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said Monday. “People have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people that are responsible—lots of different people put together by Tulsi Gabbard. And that’s going to be released tomorrow.”
The move marks a historic moment in the decades-long effort to uncover the full truth surrounding Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963. While the National Archives has periodically released portions of the JFK files over the years, a significant number of documents have remained classified, fueling speculation and conspiracy theories about the true circumstances of the assassination.
This follows Trump’s January 23 executive order mandating the declassification of records concerning the assassinations of JFK, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In February, the FBI discovered approximately 2,400 additional records related to the JFK assassination.
WATCH:
Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. He was riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza when he was shot by a sniper while sitting next to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Texas Governor John Connally was also wounded in the attack.
The official investigation, led by the Warren Commission, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. However, many theories and controversies surround the assassination, with some believing there was a larger conspiracy involving multiple shooters or government agencies.
Oswald was arrested later that day but was killed two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby while in police custody, adding further mystery to the case.
The release of the remaining JFK assassination documents has long been a contentious issue. The 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection Act mandated that all assassination-related records be made public by 2017 unless the president determined that national security risks required further withholding.

During Trump’s first term in office, he authorized multiple waves of document releases but allowed intelligence agencies to continue withholding select files. In 2021, former President Joe Biden similarly delayed full disclosure, with the National Archives citing the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason for further review.
A final batch of over 13,000 documents was released in December 2022, yet researchers and historians have continued to push for the full and unredacted release of all remaining records. While much of the JFK files have already been made public, key pieces of information remain undisclosed.
Some researchers believe that hidden documents could provide further details on CIA operations, foreign government involvement, or other potential conspiracies surrounding Kennedy’s assassination. The CIA and FBI have historically resisted full transparency on the issue, with some suggesting that the files may contain evidence of intelligence failures or even connections to larger Cold War-era operations.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of the slain president and Trump’s Health Secretary, has been one of the loudest voices calling for total transparency on the assassination files. In the past, he has accused the CIA of involvement in JFK’s death.
