Trump starts releasing secret JFK assassination files – 80,000 pages now available to public | 18 March 2025 | Eighty thousand pages of previously-unseen files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released Tuesday after President Donald Trump made the long-awaited announcement just one day earlier. “So, people have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people… lots of different people, [director of national intelligence] Tulsi Gabbard, that they must be released tomorrow,” Trump said during a visit to the Kennedy Center in Washington. “You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, ‘just don’t redact, you can’t redact.'” As of Tuesday night, over 1,123 unredacted documents — totaling roughly 80,000 pages — are visible on the National Archive’s website.
