From the Center

President Trump announced he will release 80,000 pages of unredacted files Tuesday about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, after promising on the campaign trail to declassify the documents.

โ€œWhile weโ€™re here, I thought it would be appropriate โ€” we are, tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files. So, people have been waiting for decades for this, and Iโ€™ve instructed my people โ€ฆ lots of different people, [Director of National Intelligence] Tulsi Gabbard, that they must be released tomorrow,โ€ the president told reporters while touring the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

โ€œYou got a lot of reading. I donโ€™t believe weโ€™re going to redact anything. I said, โ€˜just donโ€™t redact, you canโ€™t redact,โ€™โ€ the president said, adding it will be about 80,000 pages that he described as โ€œinteresting.โ€
