The government released thousands of pages declified related to the murder of JFK
The National Archives on Tuesday released thousands of dedla for recorded pages related to the killing of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Note has been posted to the National Archives’ website Tuesday night.
“This release consists of around 80,000 pages of the record previously classified which will be issued without editor,” said the announcement from the National Intelligence Director’s Office. “Additional documents detained under the court seal or for the confidentiality of the jury, and notes subject to section 6103 of the internal revenue code, must not be sealed before it was released.”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 23 which directed the release of the remaining records, saying it was “public interest” to do so.
On Monday Trump announced to reporters that the government will begin to release a record on Tuesday, encouraging the struggle in the Department of Justice to free the lawyer to assist the declaration process.

The Congress voted in 1992 to ask the government to release and decabulate all records related to murder in 2017, but the deadline was repeatedly pushed again by Trump and President Joe Biden because of national security issues.
Tuesday’s release represents a small stage and circulating from more than six million pages of records collected by the National Archives – which have been largely declared and available online or directly to be reviewed, according to the agency.
