In a bombshell move, Donald Trump has followed through on his 2024 campaign promise, signing an executive order to declassify long-hidden government files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
“Everything will be revealed,” Trump declared from the Oval Office on Thursday as he authorized the release of the long-classified documents, reigniting decades-old speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the high-profile killings.
This isn’t the first time Trump has flirted with full disclosure on the JFK assassination. During his first term, he pledged to make all records public but ultimately bowed to pressure from the CIA and FBI, keeping hundreds of documents under wraps. The reason? National security concerns, with Trump arguing that immediate disclosure could pose a grave risk to law enforcement and foreign relations.
Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, with alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald shot dead just two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. Despite the official narrative, theories about the true circumstances of JFK’s murder have run wild for decades.
With this latest order, Trump is cracking open one of America’s most guarded vaults of political intrigue. But will the documents finally answer lingering questions—or fuel even more speculation?
