US President Donald Trump has released the final batch of files surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. A House hearing focused on the documents recently released sheds light on the shocking event and invites critical witnesses including filmmaker Oliver Stone. The witnesses will testify about the value of the flood of documents released regarding the JFK assassination earlier this month by the National Archives.
Despite the release of the files, there have been no significant revelations thus far that change the long-held conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The National Archives collected these documents from various agencies, including the CIA, years ago, suggesting that any potentially damaging information may have been withheld.
While some experts believe the newly released documents may provide a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding the assassination, they do not anticipate any groundbreaking revelations. The files offer insight into the climate of fear surrounding US-Soviet relations after the Cuban Missile Crisis, shedding light on Oswald’s time in the Soviet Union and his movements leading up to the assassination.
The release of these documents has renewed interest in the JFK assassination, with more information expected to be published as they continue to be digitized. However, historians believe that the records may not provide any groundbreaking revelations considering most key players are deceased.
