The Trump administration released to the public on Tuesday night, March 18 around 60,000 pages of the government's classified files on the Nov. 22, 1963 assassination during a motorcade in Dallas.
The release stems from an executive order signed by Trump on the first day of his second term in office related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother and presidential candidate, New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
Many of these pages had been disclosed before, albeit with redactions, and the new release saw the removal of many, but not all, of those redactions, a development disclosed following a review by The Washington Post,
The records have been made available on the National Archives’ website.
Following an earlier Washington Post report regarding the inadvertent disclosure of private information, the White House acted swiftly to address the situation.
The National Archives has initiated a screening process for the documents containing Social Security numbers, allowing the Social Security Administration to identify living individuals affected by the leak.
A White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, indicated that those impacted will receive complimentary credit monitoring services to mitigate potential risks, The Post reported.
While the newly released records are not expected to alter the long-standing conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, they may shed new light on his associations and the relationships between US intelligence agencies and foreign governments.
But there could be revelations involving interactions involving Oswald or other matters between US intelligence agencies and foreign governments.
The approximately 60,000 documents are available to view on the National Archives website here.
