You asked for thoughts. OK
Trump tried to release JFK assassination records once before and the CIA and FBI leaned heavily upon him and only released a seriously redacted version.
Hypothetical question, what did they say to Trump that got him to back down a little bit?
Trump and RFK, Jr. met and had some good and deep discussions on the USA health situation. RFK, Jr. also talked to Trump about his belief that his father was assassinated. This, plus what Trump was told in his previous term about the JFK assassination, probably resonated with him.
After thinking about it, Trump asked RFK, Jr. to be part of his administration and sweetened it with the promise to release RFK assassination records.
Why you may ask? Because Trump feels that the FBI, DOC, State Dept, and CIA have become rogue federal agencies controlled by the Deep State and he wants to totally purge them and reorganize them.
Exposing these rogue agencies, will allow him to convince the public that they need to be purged and reorganized with much clearer oversight.
I think that this release is for a real political reason and a way to Make America Great Again.
Truman warned about the “intelligence agencies”.
JFK was killed for fear he would clean up or disband them.
