Former President Donald Trump committed to releasing the outstanding archival records related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination should he win a second term.
"I released a lot, as you know. And I will release everything else," he told >the Messenger.
During his first term, Trump ordered thousands of JFK files released but kept thousands of others on hold amid concerns from the FBI and the CIA. The document dump was prompted by the 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which set 2017 as a deadline to release all classified material about Kennedy's assassination.
In 2018, Trump delayed the full release of the tranche of Kennedy documents until October 2021 amid national security concerns. President Joe Biden later postponed that until December 2022, citing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Libertarian commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano indicated in a podcast that Trump noted concerns that the public shouldn't gain access to some of the classified content. Trump sidestepped a question about whether that was the case.
So far, Biden has released multiple batches of JFK documents. This includes nearly 1,500 in 2021 and over 13,000 last December, comprising over 70% of records previously withheld from the public.
Nevertheless, critics contend there are many documents that remain. The Mary Ferrell Foundation, a nonprofit group, slapped Biden and the National Archives and Records Administration with a lawsuit last year, contending the delay from 2017 violated the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act.
