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.

No one else could have overcome the corrupt intelligence agencies, bureaucracy, and the endless media barrage. The fact that Trump accomplished what he did in that meager space speaks volumes.
So if he couldn’t do it in four years why give him another four years? Illogical.
He did do it though. He ran a counter-intelligence operation and now the truth is starting to come out. Plus everyone sees that Biden is a crap show. Trump has another term in the bag.
Nope. Once Trump is inaugurated a 2nd time, the hammer will fall on D.C.

I wish Trump would spill the beans on UFO/UAPs
Many of these agencies were created by Executive Order. They can be easily rescinded. Trump obviously couldn't do it the first time.
Pretty easy to make a pledge for something you know you will never get a chance to do anyway.
Your tagline absolutely rocks… I try to be as patient as I can but if you examine my own posts I rarely make personal attacks on people… But I will attack what they believe in or hold is true if I find that it is wrong or a lie or unproductive to our country … Not so for not a few people on our FR sadly and many who proclaim to be “Christians”
Maybe. Q:Would you take him at his own clear public word that there are portions of the US Constitution that he would like to suspend as he already stated he wanted to do that… It’s on the record. 4 December 2022. Response?
Still waiting to see most of the stuff he claimed he declassified.
Maybe he is dumb and you expect too much? Be kind. :)
He made all kinds of huge promises about North Korea in Singapore and it had a shelf life of about one year and collapsed in May 2019 the next year… With no further talks and negotiations and not a single North Korean move to denuclearisation (let alone an inventory list or inspections) or a cessation of missile launches at Japan or liberation of thousands of Christians from DPRK concentration camps… And yet Kim Jong-un is his “big friend” (Smooooooch!! /Barf!) … Disgusting for a Conservative, anti-Communist or a lover of freedom/democracy to support any of this nonsensical horse crap
What in Heavens name was so secret from 50 years ago that he couldn’t then? I was very disappointed in him over that and I cant imagine what the truth could possibly be that would change MY mind. Thoughts people?
The gravely road 🛣️
According to Andrew Napolitano, Trump told him -
“Judge, if you saw what I saw, you would know why I can’t release them”
Take it for what it’s worth.
When you’re in charge, take charge. If he was that weak as president the first time, why do you think it’s gonna be any different the second time?
Okie dokie.
WOW, read back thru your posts you are a real Trump Hater!
Yeah... That’s just what we need to know in 2023... Who killed JFK... The real question is... Who cares? He’s been dead for almost 63 years, he will be dead tomorrow and forever after that, because he isn’t coming back.
The biggest BS conspiracy of all time.
Some of these comments are akin to demanding that your star quarterback who got you to the Super Bowl but came up short, be cut from the team next season and replaced by an untested rookie.
ow is it wasting taxpayers money to release the documents?
