Bombshells in declassified JFK assassination files released by Trump to ‘reveal the truth’

The Trump administration has released a trove of documents on the assassination of former US President John F. Kennedy, painting an eerie picture of the tragic 1963 event.

JFK, former 35th President of the United States, was shot to death on November 22, 1963, during a visit to Dallas, Texas – two years and ten months after assuming office.

The Massachusetts-born politician’s assassination has sparked six decades worth of conspiracy theories, with some adamant that gunman Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, despite FBI declarations.

In an attempt to put long unanswered questions to bed on Tuesday (March 18) President Donald Trump’s administration announced that all of the government’s classified files had been released.

For the first time, thousands of pages of records are available for public perusal for the first time, as per USA Today.

Historians have claimed they would ‘need time’ to comb through the undereducated files to understand their significance and if they are much different from previous releases.

“You got a lot of reading,” Trump, 78, told reporters on Monday (March 17) during a visit to the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts. “I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything.”

However, the BBC states that some of the unsealed files did appear to have passages blacked out, while other pages were illegible due to fading and poor scanning.

While experts continue to decipher the material, some bombshell details have already emerged, offering insight into the fourth assassination of a US President in history.
