Three Key Takeaways:
- President Donald Trump released 80,000 pages of JFK assassination files, fulfilling his long-standing promise to declassify crucial information that has been hidden for decades, sending shockwaves through the intelligence establishment.
- The release has been praised by both Democrats and Republicans, with lawmakers from both parties acknowledging the importance of full disclosure for understanding the historical context of the Kennedy assassinations.
- The move is seen as a major step in restoring trust in the government and ensuring transparency, with many Americans believing that the JFK assassination involved a conspiracy, not just Lee Harvey Oswald.
The Deep State has spent decades hiding the truth from Americans.
They never expected anyone to actually challenge their authority.
And Deep State operatives are panicking after Trump just released these JFK files.
Trump follows through on promise to expose Kennedy assassination records
For almost 61 years, the truth about who killed John F. Kennedy has remained one of America’s most closely guarded secrets.
The Deep State fought tooth and nail to keep the American people in the dark about what really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
But President Donald Trump just sent shockwaves through the intelligence establishment by releasing 80,000 pages of JFK assassination files.
The National Archives released the massive trove of documents late Tuesday night, making good on Trump’s long-standing promise to declassify information on the historic event.
This release comes shortly after Trump signed an executive order directing the release of thousands of files related to Kennedy’s assassination, as well as the assassinations of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
“That’s a big one. Lot of people are waiting for this a long, for years, for decades,” the President said when he signed the order.
In a touching gesture that acknowledges the personal nature of these revelations, Trump asked that the pen he used to sign the order be given to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Democrats and Republicans unite to praise the release
While Democrats and Republicans rarely agree on anything these days, lawmakers from both parties are praising the Trump administration’s decision to release the files.
Rep. Steve Cohen, a progressive Democrat from Tennessee who co-sponsored legislation to publicize the Kennedy files, called the release “a good sign that some progress toward the goal of full disclosure is under way.”
“The assassinations of the 1960s need to be understood in their full historical context and the documents being released may help us get there,” Cohen said Tuesday night.
Republicans were more enthusiastic in their support, with House GOP Oversight Chairman James Comer calling Trump’s administration “the most transparent in history.”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) – who was tapped by Comer to lead a task force aimed at getting other critical government records declassified – promised to get to the bottom of the mystery.
“By investigating the newly released JFK files, consulting experts, and tracking down surviving staff of various investigative committees, my task force will get to the bottom of this mystery and share our findings with the American people,” Luna declared.
Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett added, “I am happy that after decades of questions from the public and government cover-ups that the American people finally may have answers to the JFK assassination.”
Restoring Americans’ trust in government
The Kennedy assassination has long been a source of national trauma and suspicion.
When the Warren Commission officially concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy, many Americans were skeptical.
According to a 2023 CBS News poll, a staggering 71% of Americans believe others were involved in a conspiracy to kill the President.
Rep. David Schweikert, an Arizona Republican who introduced the initial legislation to declassify unredacted records from the Kennedy assassination, called the release a moment that “symbolizes the long-awaited restoration of the people’s trust in the federal government.”
While some of the released documents aren’t completely new, a significant number are presented without redactions for the first time – a crucial development for history buffs and researchers who have waited decades for transparency.
Despite the initial pressure, Trump has now delivered on his promise to give Americans access to information that has been withheld for generations.
The battle over the JFK files represents more than just historical curiosity – it’s about whether unelected bureaucrats should have the power to decide what the American people are allowed to know.
With Trump back in the White House, the Deep State has finally met its match.
