Trump administration releases new JFK assassination records
Source: CNN
The Trump administration on Tuesday released thousands of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that it said had previously been classified.
Many of the files related to the JFK assassination have already been disclosed, including a tranche of 13,000 documents released during the Biden administration. Many of the documents released Tuesday had been previously redacted, however.
Trump said on Monday that people have been waiting for decades to see the 80,000 pages of records related to Kennedys assassination. Soon after taking office, he signed an executive order directing the public release of thousands of files related to the assassinations of Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
The documents were posted to the website of the National Archives Tuesday evening. It may take some time before researchers who have studied the JFK assassination can go through the newly posted 1,123 documents, which were identified only by record numbers and no descriptions.

So still more to come?
There are additional documents, she said, that are withheld under court seal or for grand jury secrecy, and records subject to section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, must be unsealed before release.
The National Archives is working with the Justice Department to expedite the unsealing of those records, she added.

It's a distraction, like throwing a steak to a guard dog. Why else would Trump care about JFK?
