President Trump has announced that he will be releasing documents about JFK assassination. The documents could be over thousands of copies. The records are kept at the National Archives and Records Administration.
Some Federal agencies would prefer the files be kept shut. Trump said that if a strong case was made, he won’t release them.
Trump had accused the father of Ted Cruz of being involved in some way. Trump’s accusation was called garbage by a Cruz spokesperson. Trump had never apologized for the accusation.
Some believe some link may be found in those documents.
Announcement
Trump tweeted “subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.”
The 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act is the main reason for this. The date if released is said to be October 26.
Some of the documents have been released over a period of time in the past. Trump can decide if he wants to extend the time frame or accept the deadline for what remains.
Sen. Charles E. Grassley is happy that the documents will be released. He tweeted “No reason 2 keep hidden anymore. Time 2 let American ppl + historians draw own conclusions.”
