(TheProudRepublic.com) – Fulfilling a promise to the American people that previous administrations failed to deliver, President Donald Trump released previously classified JFK assassination documents.
See the tweet below.
The historic move fulfills decades of requests from citizens demanding to know the truth about the 1963 assassination that has fueled countless conspiracy theories.
This week, Trump’s administration released over 1,100 previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
This action followed an executive order aimed at fully disclosing records linked to the assassinations of JFK, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
These documents include extensive intelligence files, first-hand accounts, police records, typewritten reports, and handwritten notes.
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, emphasized the administration’s commitment to transparency, stating, “President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency.”
This approach starkly contrasts the decades of secrecy surrounding these historically significant events under previous administrations.
The massive document dump consists of 1,123 PDF files that historians and researchers are now examining for new insights.
While experts caution that significant time will be needed to assess all materials thoroughly, initial reviews suggest the documents do not change the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Nevertheless, the release represents a major step toward government accountability.

One notable document from 1991 discusses Oswald’s time in the Soviet Union and his relationship with his Soviet wife.
The document stated, “Nikonov is now confident that Oswald was at no time an agent controlled by the KGB.” This contradicts decades of speculation about Soviet involvement in the assassination plot.
Trump personally announced the release, emphasizing his commitment to truth: “People have been waiting for decades for this.”
Then he told Americans, “You got a lot of reading, I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything.”
Although approximately 99% of known Kennedy papers have now been publicly disclosed, more than 2,100 documents remain partially withheld due to redactions.
The FBI discovered about 2,400 new documents during a search conducted after Trump’s order, demonstrating how deep the government’s secrecy had previously run.
The National Archives is currently digitizing all documents for easier public access. The release caught many archivists by surprise, highlighting the decisive and swift action taken by the Trump administration to fulfill its transparency promises without unnecessary bureaucratic delays.
Moreover, the Department of Defense documents from 1963 included in the release discuss U.S. involvement in Latin America and Fidel Castro’s actions during that period.
Such historical context provides Americans with a more complete understanding of the geopolitical tensions surrounding the Kennedy administration and possible motives for his assassination.
Some CIA experts remain skeptical about finding new bombshell revelations. James Johnston noted, “If it was going to embarrass the agency or tell a different story, they wouldn’t have turned them over to the National Archives in the first place.”
Ultimately, the Trump administration’s commitment to transparency is a testament to putting America first by respecting citizens’ right to know their history.
By making these long-hidden documents public, President Trump has taken a concrete step toward restoring trust in government while allowing historians and researchers to finally piece together the full story of one of America’s most tragic and mysterious events.
