Trump to Allow the Release of JFK Assassination Files

President Donald Trump said today that he will allow the release of classified JFK files. John F. Kennedy (JFK), the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

Amid myriad conspiracy theories, the Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that JFK was shot by a former U.S Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald.

Although it was found by the Commission that Oswald acted alone in the assassination, others believed that a group of people or organizations were behind the President’s murder. Mystery still shrouds the death of JFK.

Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.

“Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened,” Trump said in his tweet.

Under increasing public pressure and doubts over the Warren Commission’s findings, a House Resolution was passed in 1976 to further investigate the JFK assassination. It was concluded in 1979 that the President was assassinated as part of a conspiracy.
