President Trump announces Tuesday release of JFK assassination files

President Donald Trump announced that the JFK assassination files will be released tomorrow. Trump said that there would be no redactions. He also said that there was “a lot of paper” and reading to go along with it. History buffs and conspiracy theorists would more than likely take Trump up on his word. However, the article also claims that nothing new would really be discovered.

From New York Post:

“While we’re here, I thought it would be appropriate there tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said.

“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything.”

Trump added: “They’ve been waiting for that for decades. And I said during the campaign I’d release them and I’m a man of my word so tomorrow you have the JFK files.”

The president, who was 17 years old when Kennedy, 46, was fatally shot in Dallas, said the files would be “very interesting.”

The Post has learned, however, that an initial review by administration officials turned up no new bombshells.

Kennedy was shot in Dallas while riding in an open convertible with first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who was unharmed, and Texas Gov. John Connally, who was wounded.

Prime suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby, spurring debate about whether Oswald was a patsy in a larger conspiracy.

Oswald defected to the Soviet Union four years before the assassination and later returned to the US. The Marine Corps veteran also visited the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City and contacted the Soviet embassy there in late September 1963.
