Former President Donald Trump announces the release of 80,000 pages of classified JFK assassination documents today, March 18, 2025, marking the most extensive public disclosure in decades.

The files will be released without redactions, following oversight by former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to ensure complete transparency. "Americans deserve to know the truth," Trump declared on Truth Social. "No more secrets, no more cover-ups."

Key documents expected in the release:

• Previously classified CIA and FBI communications about Lee Harvey Oswald
• Records examining potential foreign government involvement
• Secret testimonies from officials who questioned the Warren Commission
• Internal discussions about restricted access to assassination information

The JFK Records Act of 1992 originally mandated full disclosure by 2017, but both Trump and Biden administrations delayed release citing security concerns. Today's release fulfills Trump's campaign promise and challenges government secrecy.

The documents will be accessible through a government portal, allowing historians, journalists, and researchers to examine:

• Intelligence operations surrounding Oswald
• Possible Cuban or Soviet connections
• Witness testimonies and depositions
• Details of potential government cover-ups

While transparency advocates celebrate the release, some officials warn of diplomatic and security implications. This disclosure could significantly impact our understanding of the November 22, 1963 assassination and subsequent investigation.

Experts will analyze these records to evaluate long-standing conspiracy theories and assess whether Oswald acted alone or as part of a larger plot. The release may finally provide answers to questions that have persisted for over 60 years about one of America's most controversial historical events.
