The final step in a declassification method that has been ongoing for decades was the release of the last batch of data relating to the 1963 death of President John F. Kennedy, according to the US National Archives on Tuesday.
The release comes in response to a January executive order from former president Donald Trump directing the unredacted discharge of the last documents related to the murders of Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights head.
Some people doubt the official assumption that Lee Harvey Oswald killed himself in Dallas on November 22, 1963, as a result of the death of JFK. The most recent report release is anticipated to stoke further debate about the circumstances surrounding his passing.
Despite earlier leaks, historians, researchers, and the general public have remained vocal in support of total transparency, hoping that these last files will provide new information on unresolved issues. Since the 1992 John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act mandated their future publication, the National Archives has been gradually releasing classified records related to the case.
Scepticism persists despite officials ‘ claims that the recently released documents will bring about closing. The National Archives site then makes the records accessible to the general public.
