BREAKING Will Trump Release The Missing JFK files
The nation's conspiracy-theorist-in-chief is facing a momentous decision.
Will President Donald Trump allow the public to see a trove of thousands of long-secret
government files about the event that, more than any other in modern American history,
has fueled conspiracy theories — the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy?
The answer must come within months.
And, according to a new timeline offered by the National Archives, it could come within
weeks.
Under the deadline set by a 1992 law, Trump has six months left to decide whether he will
block the release of an estimated 3,600 files related to the assassination that are still
under seal at the Archives.
From what is known of the JFK documents, most come from the CIA and FBI, and a number may
help resolve lingering questions about whether those agencies missed evidence of a conspiracy
in Kennedy's death.
As with every earlier release of JFK assassination documents in the 53 years since shots rang
out in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, it is virtually certain that some of the files will be seized
on to support popular conspiracy theories about Kennedy's murder; other documents
are likely to undermine them.
For the first time, the Trump White House is acknowledging that it is focused on the
issue, even if it offers no hint about what the President will do.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Politico last week that
the Trump administration "is familiar with the requirements" of the 1992 law and that
White House is working with the National Archives "to enable a smooth process in anticipation
of the October deadline."There is no little irony in the fact that the decision will be
left to Trump, long a promoter of so many baseless conspiracy theories about everything.
Under the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection Act, the library of documents about Kennedy's
death must be made public in full by the deadline of this October 26, the law's 25th anniversary,
unless Trump decides otherwise.
It is his decision alone.
The prospect of the release of the last of the government's long-secret JFK assassination
files has long tantalized historians and other scholars, to say nothing of the nation's
armies of conspiracy theorists, since no one can claim to know exactly what is in there.
Martha W. Murphy, the Archives official who oversees the records, said in an interview
last month that a team of researchers with high-level security clearances is at work
to prepare the JFK files for release and hopes to begin unsealing them in batches much earlier
than October — possibly as early as summer.
Beyond releasing the 3,600 never-before-seen JFK files, the Archives is reviewing another
35,000 assassination-related documents, previously released in part, so they can be unsealed
in full.
Short of an order from the president, Murphy said, the Archives is committed to making
everything public this year: "There's very little decision-making for us."
Many of the documents are known to come from the files of CIA officials who monitored a
mysterious trip that Oswald paid to Mexico City several weeks before the assassination
– a trip that brought Kennedy's future killer under intense surveillance by the spy
agency as he paid visits to both the Soviet and Cuban embassies there.
The CIA said it monitored all visitors to the embassies and opened surveillance of Oswald
as soon as he was detected inside the Soviet compound for the first time.
Other documents are known to identify, by name, American and foreign spies and law-enforcement
sources who had previously been granted anonymity for information about Oswald and the assassination.
At least 400 pages of the files involve E. Howard Hunt, the former CIA operative turned
Watergate conspirator who claimed on his deathbed that he had advance knowledge of Kennedy's
murder.
The documents were gathered together by a temporary federal agency, the Assassination
Records Review Board, that was established under the 1992 law.
In an interview last month, its former chairman, Judge John R. Tunheim of the Federal District
Court in Minnesota, said he "wouldn't be surprised if there's something important"
in the documents, especially given how much of the history of the Kennedy assassination
has had to be rewritten in recent decades.
He said he knew of "no bombshells" in the files when the board agreed to keep them
secret two decades ago, but names, places and events described in the documents could
have significance now, given what has been learned about the assassination since the
board went out of business.
"Today, with a broader understanding of history, certain things may be far more relevant,"
he said.
Murphy, the Archives official, said she, too, knew of no shocking information in the documents
– but she said her researchers were not in a position to judge their significance.
"As you can imagine, we're not reading them for that, so we're probably not the
best people to tell you," she said.
"I will say this: This collection is really interesting as a snapshot of the Cold War."
The Review Board, created by Congress to show transparency in response to the public furor
created by Oliver Stone's conspiracy-minded 1991 film "JFK," did force the release
of a massive library of other long-secret documents from the CIA, FBI, Secret Service
and other federal agencies, as well as from congressional investigations of
the assassination.
