Donald Trump ordered a secret government document that announced thousands of confidential government documents on the assassination of the President of John F Kennedy in 1963. For decades, the incident has promoted conspiracy theory.
The administrative order signed by the President on Thursday also aims to decrypt the remaining federal records related to Senator Robert F. Kennedy and pastor Martin Luther Kim. The command is one of the series of administrative actions that Trump quickly adopted in the first week of his term. His second term.
Trump told reporters, "Everything will be exposed."
During his re -election campaign, Trump promised that he would publicize the last group of President Kennedy's assassination in Dallas that is still confidential. This incident has been shocking for decades. He also made a similar commitment during his first term, but eventually he heard the call of the Central Intelligence Bureau and the Federal Investigation Bureau and detained some documents.
Trump nominated Kennedy's nephew, Robert F. Kennedy as the Minister of Health of the New Government. Kennedy's father, Robert F Kennedy, was assassinated when he was running for the president in 1968. Kennedy said that he did not believe that a lonely gunman was responsible for his uncle Kennedy in 1963.
The command instructed the National Intelligence Director and the Minister of Justice to formulate a plan within 15 days to decrypt the remaining John Kennedy records and decrypt other two cases within 45 days. It is unclear when these records will be released.
Trump will hand over the pen to a assistant to sign the command and instruct it to hand over it to Robert F. Kennedy.
In the millions of government records related to the assassination of President Kennedy, only thousands of government records have not been fully decrypted. Although many people who have studied the content so far said that the public should not expect any shocking news, people still have a strong interest in details related to assassination and related events.
Larry Sabato, director of the Political Center of the University of Virginia and the author of the book "Kennedy Half A), said:" There may always be something missed, and this is just a small tip of the big iceberg, "It will be revealed" "This is what researchers are looking for.
On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot shot in the center of Dallas. At that time, in front of the building of Texas textbooks in Texas, the 24 -year -old assassin Lee Harvey Oswald will be will be. Sniper placed on the sixth floor. Two days after Kennedy was killed, the nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed him while he was in Oswald.
In the early 1990s, the federal government demanded that all the documents related to assassination were stored in a collection of the State File and Recording Administration. More than 5 million records must be opened before 2017, unless the president designated any exemption.
During his first term, Trump boasted that he would allow all the remaining records of the president's assassination, but in the end, he retained some records because he said the potential harm of national security. Although President Joe Biden continued to publish documents during his tenure, some documents were still not made public.
Samasato, who sorted out these documents, said that most researchers believed that "about 3,000 records" had not yet been publicized, and many of them recorded the Central Intelligence Bureau.
The documents announced in the past few years have provided detailed information about the operation of the intelligence department at that time, including the telegram and memo of the Central Intelligence Agency, which discussed the visit of Oswald during the visit to Mexico City a few weeks ago. Condition. The former Navy's Marine player had previously defeated to the Soviet Union and returned to Texas.
However, researchers believe that there are still some documents in the collection that the president cannot be announced. About 500 documents, including the tax declaration form, are not restricted by disclosure requirements in 2017. Researchers pointed out that documents have been destroyed for decades.
