Documents about the Kennedy assassination have been published in the USA

Declassified documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his politician brother Robert and black rights activist Martin Luther King were published in the United States on Wednesday, according to a publication on the website of the National Archives.

"In accordance with the directive of President Donald Trump dated March 17, 2025, all previously classified data that are part of the collection of documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy are being published," the archive's website says.

According to the law, the US authorities had to fully declassify the data on the Kennedy assassination by 2017, but both US President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, who held this post between his two terms, gave intelligence a delay to assess whether the disclosure of information could harm US interests and international relations. The few documents published then did not become a sensation. Shortly after the start of his second presidential term, Trump decided to re-publish the documents, issuing a corresponding decree, and later announcing that the data would be made public on March 18. According to the American leader, we are talking about "about 80 thousand pages" that are not edited.

Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas (Texas) on November 22, 1963, he served as president for less than three years. The investigation established that the murder was committed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone. Oswald was shot dead two days after his arrest. It turned out that in 1959-1960 Oswald lived in the USSR and even worked as a turner at a factory in Minsk, married a Russian girl, who then went with him to the USA. There were numerous theories about who could benefit from the assassination of Kennedy.
