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.
โWhile weโre 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 Iโve instructed my people โฆ 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.
โYou got a lot of reading. I donโt believe weโre going to redact anything. I said, โjust donโt redact, you canโt redact,โโ the president said, adding it will be about 80,000 pages that he described as โinteresting.โ
