President Donald Trump
President Trump stated Friday that he will release "ALL" the remaining John F. Kennedy Files, after he had been forced by U.S. spy agencies--- of which he had been skeptical--to withhold thousands of still potentially sensitive documents. Trump stated after meeting with Chief of Staff Kelly, the CIA, and other agencies, he said he will be releasing all the JFK files other than the names and addresses of any mentioned person who is still living. Trump claims his motive in releasing those files is for full disclosure, transparency, and to put to rest any and all conspiracy theories regarding JFK's assassination. The National Archives released 2800 once-classified records related to the assassination of JFK. Behind the scenes of the much-anticipated release, Trump and his White House lawyers were purportedly going back and forth at the last minute with U.S. intelligence officials over their requests for additional redactions. Just before the documents' release, Trump stated he had no choice but to agree to requests from the CIA and FBI for purposes of national security reasons and it could threaten that. However, Trump was upset over what he perceived to be overly broad secrecy requests and stated that redactions be kept to a minimum. Click on the link to read the rest of the story.
