President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday declassifying Central Intelligence Agency files on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
They will be released to the public after more than 50 years.
“More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events. Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay,” the order explained. “I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue. And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release of all records in the Federal Government’s possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest.”
It will take about 60 days for all of the documents to be released “in full.” Trump said the “families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.”
The Department of Justice and director of national intelligence (nominee Tulsi Gabbard) will develop a plan for the president to complete the release of these documents.
The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 required all records related to the assassination of President Kennedy to be publicly disclosed in full by October 26, 2017, unless the President certifies that: (i) continued postponement is made necessary by an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations; and (ii) the identifiable harm is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure. President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, section 5(g)(2)(D), Public Law 102-526, 106 Stat. 3443, 3448–49, codified at 44 U.S.C. 2107 note.
“I previously accepted proposed redactions from executive departments and agencies (agencies) in 2017 and 2018, but ordered the continued re-evaluation of those remaining redactions. See Temporary Certification for Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 82 Fed. Reg. 50,307–08 (Oct. 31, 2017); Certification for Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 83 Fed. Reg. 19, 157–58 (Apr. 26, 2018). In the Presidential Memorandum of April 26, 2018, I also ordered agencies to re-review each of those redactions over the next 3 years and disclose information that no longer warrants continued withholding under the standard set forth in section 5(g)(2)(D) of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992,” the order explained.
President Biden allowed agencies to delay the release.
Good
He had a chance to do it before but national security convinced him otherwise. Think we can handle knowing lbj and the cia did it? What about the mob? Nixon? 2 shooters or 3? Next, he can open up Roswell. Hillary was going to.
We have to wait and see if it’s been heavily redacted.
I’ll bet there’s lots of black marks on there blanking out names that we would like to know.
As the kids say, this is gonna be lit.
Trump is going to get popular support (leverage) to fundamentally transform the IC. He is really doing this. Let’s go.
Will the real killers please stand up and take your punishments? If not, we will find you.
They’re dead.
Next get us the names in Epstein’s black book and the attendees of Diddy’s freak offs.
I believe the main reason for keeping this stuff hidden is to protect the FBI, neither the FBI, or CIA was involved in the assassination IMO. The files will reveal the extent that the FBI was unconstitutionally spying on people , particularly MLK who had affairs. J. Edgar Hoover did all this for power, and to protect from his own exposure as a cross dresser
Frank, Hoover was the poster child for how Absolute Power can corrupt absolutely.
Hoover and LBJ were also reportedly very close…
We shall see!
Hoover just had dirt on everybody.That’s how he stayed in power. Nobody dared take him out.
Frank, I agree with you.
From all my reading J. Edgar was prejudiced scum and pretty much spied on everyone he wanted. The question now remains, can we trust that the files being declassified are the actual facts or a narrative that played well at the time. Maybe parts went away in Mr. Berger’s socks…..
Liberals will say Trump didn’t release all the JFK and MLK files because both files are going to expose the Dems as murderers.
Could have been Nixon and the republican party. Kennedy stole the 1960 election it has been well documented.
It’s coming Federal Reserve Bankers & the Bush Crime Family…..ect.
President Trump, please, reinstate EO IIII0, bring back the Silver Certificates .
Jim Marrs, in his book Crossfire, presented the theory that Kennedy was trying to rein in the power of the Federal Reserve, and that forces opposed to such action might have played some part in Kennedy’s assassination.[23][24][25] Marrs alleges that the issuance of Executive Order 11110 was an effort by Kennedy to transfer power from the Federal Reserve to the United States Department of the Treasury by replacing Federal Reserve Notes with silver certificates.[24] Author Richard Belzer named the responsible parties in this theory as American “billionaires, power brokers, and bankers … working in tandem with the CIA and other sympathetic agents of the government.”[26]

He was also going to expose the roswell cover up. Couldn’t have that.
Well this should set off a whole new round of rabbit-running. Just stand back and watch the conspiracy theories bloom. So fun.
Yes as fun as you chasing cars.
They admit that ” some documennt have been destroyed” Most certainly the ones we have hoped to see. Some good may come of this but I sincerely doubt that the truly guilty parties wll be revealed. The deep state is pretty damn deep.
Anything truly shocking would have been scrubbed from these files decades ago. I will speculate that if there is anything of interest remaining, it will be embarrassing to either the FBI or CIA.
Nothing to see here.
They got a patsy to do the job & then had another patsy kill the first one to silence him.
That 2nd patsy died a short time later.
It was the CIA & the “war machine” Ike had warned us about just a few years before the JFK hit.
The CIA did this all over the world & they did it here.
A big win for late night AM radio, for sure.
Can’t wait. It’s so fun to listen to…and laugh.
Let’s start a poll.
I go CIA with factions of the LBJ crowd.
This is about uncovering salacious details about Democrat idols
This is about uncovering salacious details about Democrat idols
Long as Trump doesn’t do anything to the all-powerful Federal Reserve, he will be fine. Which I don’t think he will do anything to them.
Look where we are at today…
Finally, after 60 years, another “conspiracy theory” will be proven true!
