  • With the expected release of the remaining JFK assassination files following President Donald Trump's executive order, here is a look back on the documents' original declassification timeline.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing saga of the JFK assassination files, which were originally set to be fully released by October 26, 2017, under a law signed by President George H.W. Bush in 1992. However, President Trump delayed the release, citing national security concerns, and only allowed the release of about 2,800 records at that time. Since then, the release of these documents has been a slow process, with President Biden also extending the deadline multiple times. As of the latest updates, more than 97% of the records have been released, but some documents remain classified. The article highlights the public's and researchers' interest in these files for clues about the assassination, conspiracy theories, and the potential involvement of figures like Lee Harvey Oswald. It also notes the tension between transparency and national security, with ongoing debates about what information should remain secret and why.
