2,800 JFK Assassination Documents Just Released by the National Archives

Moments ago, the Nation­al Archives released a trove of 2,800 doc­u­ments that will shed more light on the assas­si­na­tion of John F. Kennedy. Accord­ing to the Archives, the release includes “FBI, CIA, and oth­er agency doc­u­ments (both for­mer­ly with­held in part and for­mer­ly with­held in full) iden­ti­fied by the Assas­si­na­tion Records Review Board as assas­si­na­tion records.” You can find the doc­u­ments here.

This data dump was meant to include even more doc­u­ments. But, accord­ing to The New York Times, Don­ald Trump “bowed to protests by the C.I.A. and F.B.I. by with­hold­ing thou­sands of addi­tion­al papers pend­ing six more months of review.” If those ever see the light of day, we’ll let you know.
