PNN – US President Donald Trump announced that he will release approximately 80,000 pages of the assassination file of former President John F. Kennedy.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, US President Donald Trump said on Monday: We will release about 80,000 pages of files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy tomorrow.
Trump stated: We’re going to make an announcement tomorrow and release all of the Kennedy files. People have been waiting for this for decades, and I’ve instructed those who are responsible for this to do this, various individuals who have been gathered by Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, and it will be released tomorrow.
He added: We have a lot of evidence; you have to study a lot. I don’t believe in censoring anything, and I said, just don’t censor, you have no right to censor. But we will release the John F. Kennedy files tomorrow.
When asked if the White House had prepared an executive summary for his review, Trump replied: I’m not summarizing at all. There will be about 80,000 pages of documents released in total.

When signing this executive order, Trump stated that the families of these individuals, as well as the American people, deserve to understand transparency and the truth, adding: It is in the national interest of the United States that all records related to these assassinations be released without delay.
He then told one of his aides to give the pen with which he had signed the order to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Trump released nearly 3,000 files in 2017, but at that time he withheld the rest of the files due to requests from various agencies.
Former US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963.
His brother, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated in California in 1968 while campaigning for president, and just two months later, Martin Luther King, Jr., the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement, was killed in Memphis, Tennessee. These assassinations were among the most shocking in American history and had far-reaching consequences.
In 2023, the National Archives completed its review of classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of J.F. Candace. According to CNN, 99 percent of the records have been made publicly available. Despite previous promises by US presidents, including Trump, to release these documents, the CIA, Pentagon, and State Department still have documents that they have refused to release.
The justification for keeping those documents confidential stems largely from efforts to protect the identities of confidential sources that are still alive or may be alive, as well as protection methods.
