  • One of the files said JFK's killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a poor shot when he tried target firing in the Soviet Union.

The article from MSN discusses the release of the JFK assassination files by former President Donald Trump in 2017, which were made available to the public through the National Archives. These files, part of a collection that includes over 5 million pages, contain various documents like CIA and FBI reports, memos, and other materials related to the investigation of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963. The release was mandated by the JFK Records Act of 1992, which aimed for full disclosure by 2017, although some documents were withheld for national security reasons. The files reveal details about the investigation, including information on Lee Harvey Oswald, potential conspiracies, and the broader context of the Cold War era. While much of the content was already known to researchers, the release provided new insights and confirmed or debunked various theories surrounding the assassination. The public can access these documents online or by visiting the National Archives, although some redactions remain in place to protect sensitive information.
