Trump signed an executive order that will also release documents on the 1960s assassinations of JFK ’s younger brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. — AFP picas a first-time user . Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeWASHINGTON, Jan 24 — US President Donald Trump ordered the declassification Thursday of the last secret files on the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, a case that still fuels conspiracy theories more than 60 years after his death.
The order Trump signed requires the “full and complete release” of the JFK files, without redactions that he accepted back in 2017 when releasing most of the documents. It said at the time of the latest large-scale release, in December 2022, that 97 percent of the Kennedy records—which total five million pages—had now been made public.
Trump’s move is partly a gesture to one of the most prominent backers of those conspiracies—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. himself. Anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr. was rewarded with the health nod in Trump’s cabinet for dropping his independent presidential bid and backing the Republican, but he faces a rocky nomination process.Thousands of Kennedy assassination-related documents from the National Archives were released during Trump’s first term in office, but he also held some back on national security grounds.
