US President Trump announced in Washington on the 17th that he would release 80,000 pages of unredacted documents related to the assassination of former President Kennedy on the 18th.
Trump told the media at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington that day that he would release the documents on the Kennedy assassination, the time would be “set for tomorrow”, and no content would be redacted. When asked whether he would provide a summary of the 80,000 pages of documents, Trump replied that “no summary would be provided” and readers would “make their own judgments”.
Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963. In 1992, the US Congress passed a bill requiring all documents related to the assassination of Kennedy to be made public within 25 years, that is, before October 26, 2017.
Trump signed an executive order on January 23, requiring relevant departments to declassify all remaining files on the assassination of Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the leader of the American black civil rights movement.
