Donald Trump Vows Action On JFK Assassination Files If Reelected As President After RFK Jr. Reignites Controversy

On Monday, following a major discussion on the conspiracies behind the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy by presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former President Donald Trump announced he would release all documents related to the investigation that are still kept secret.

In an interview with The Messenger, Trump stated, “I released a lot, as you know. And I will release everything else.” During Trump’s presidency, his administration released 19,045 documents that had to do with President John F. Kennedy, per the Nation Archives. Trump declined to release the remaining documents during his first time in office, citing “identifiable national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns.” 

During his interview, Trump was asked if the documents that were unreleased contained content that would scare the public or threaten the United States' image. “Well, I don’t want to comment on that,” Trump answered. “But I will tell you that I have released a lot. I will release the remaining portion very early in my term.”

Joe Biden has held off on fully disclosing the documents related to the former president’s assassination. The Biden administration has, through 2023, released 1,279 documents. This makes the total amount of documents released to 97 percent, per the Nation Archives. 

Democratic nominee Robert F. Kennedy has seemingly reignited the fire of the JFK conspiracies. Kennedy has made many comments on his concerns about the validity of the investigation into his uncle’s untimely death, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer. Kennedy pins the blame on the CIA, stating that the evidence is “overwhelming” in their connection to the late-president's death.

The CIA, of course, has remained adamant about its lack of involvement in the former president's death.
