    President Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the release
    of federal government documents related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and
    Martin Luther King Jr.

    The order directs the director of national intelligence and attorney
    general to present a plan within 15 days for the �full and complete
    release of records relating to the assassination of President John F.
    Kennedy.�

    �I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John
    F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of
    these records is long overdue,� the order states.

    �And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information
    pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the
    Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release
    of all records in the Federal Government�s possession pertaining to each
    of those assassinations is also in the public interest,� the order
    continues.

    Trump promised during his 2024 campaign to declassify the remaining
    government documents about the JFK assassination, which has remained a
    point of public interest decades after the 1963 killing. Trump made the
    same pledge during his first term, but he ultimately kept some documents
    under wraps amid intelligence concerns.

    John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. Conspiracies have persisted about CIA involvement or the existence of
    another shooter.

    The National Archives in 2022 released nearly 13,000 new files related to
    the assassination of JFK, the largest dump of documents since 2018.

    Lawmakers in 1992 passed legislation requiring all remaining government
    records about the assassination to be released by October 2017 unless they posed certain risks to national defense or intelligence. Both Trump and
    former President Biden issued extensions to keep certain documents
    private.

    Experts have cautioned there are unlikely to be any major revelations in
    the final batch of documents to be released.

    King was killed in April 1968 in Memphis.

    Robert F. Kennedy was killed in 1968 by Sirhan Sirhan.

    Robert F. Kennedy�s son Robert F. Kennedy Jr. backed Trump�s 2024 bid for
    the presidency, and has been picked by Trump as his nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. In a 2023 interview, Kennedy Jr. backed a conspiracy theory about the CIA being involved in his uncle�s
    killing.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
    eradicated.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
    fiasco, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
