“That’s a big one. Lot of people are waiting for this a long, for years, for decades,” Trump said signing the executive order in the Oval Office.
“Give that to RFK Jr.,” he said, indicating that the pen he used to sign the order should be given to his pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, who is the son of the former attorney general and nephew of the late president.
“All will be revealed,” Trump added.
Many of the files related to the JFK assassination have already been disclosed, including a tranche of 13,000 documents released during the Biden administration. Many of the documents have been redacted, however.
“Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay,” reads the order from the White House.
The records will not be released immediately. “Within 15 days of the date of this order, the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General shall, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and the Counsel to the President, present a plan to the President for the full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy,” the order reads.
The timeline is within 45 days for RFK and MLK files.
In 2023, the National Archives concluded its review of the classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of JFK, with 99% of the records having been made publicly available, as CNN reported.
President Joe Biden then released a memo certifying that the archivist had completed the review and affirmed the remaining documents authorized to be declassified had been released to the public – meeting a previously set deadline.
Despite previous pledges from presidents, including Trump, to release those records, the CIA, Pentagon and State Department still have documents they’ve refused to release. The justification for those documents remaining classified largely stems from efforts to protect the identities of confidential sources who are still alive, or might be alive, and protecting methods.
When Trump was president, he agreed at the time not to release the full tranche of records related to Kennedy’s assassination at the request of national security agencies. But Trump on the 2024 campaign trail said he would release the remaining documents.

特朗普簽署行政命令，公佈更多有關約翰甘迺迪、羅拔甘迺迪和馬丁路德金遇刺事件的文件
總統特朗普週四簽署行政命令，公佈與約翰甘迺迪、羅拔甘迺迪和馬丁·路德·金遇刺事件有關的文件。
特朗普在橢圓形辦公室簽署行政命令時表示: “這是一個大事： “很多人等待這一刻已經很久了，幾年、幾十年了。”
他說: 「把它交給少羅拔甘迺迪 (RFK Jr.) 」，暗示他用來簽署命令的筆應該交給他挑選的衛生和公眾服務部負責人，他是前司法部長的兒子，也是已故總統的姪子。
特朗普補充說： “一切真相都會揭露。”
許多與甘迺迪遇刺事件有關的文件已經被揭露，其中包括拜登政府期間發布的 13,000 份文件。然而，許多文件是已被刪輯。
白宮的行政命令寫道： “他們的家人和美國人民應該得到透明和真相。最終毫不拖延地公佈與這些暗殺事件有關的所有記錄是符合國家利益。”
這些記錄不會立即公佈。命令中寫道: 「在本命令發布之日起 15 天內，國家情報總監和司法部長應與總統國家安全事務助理和總統法律顧問協調，向總統提交一份去全面公佈與約翰·肯尼迪總統遇刺事件有關的記錄的全面實施計劃」。
羅拔甘迺迪 和 馬丁·路德·金 文件檔案的時間進程表是在 45 天之內。
根據美國有線電視新聞網 (CNN) 報道，2023 年，美國國家檔案館結束了對 1963 年甘迺迪遇刺事件相關機密文件的審查，已把其中 99% 的記錄公開。
總統拜登隨後發布了一份備忘錄，證明檔案管理員已經完成審查，並確認餘下獲準解密的文件已向公眾發佈 - 符合先前設定的時限。
儘管包括特朗普在內的多位總統先前承諾公佈這些記錄，但中情局、五角大廈和國務院仍持有拒絕公佈的文件。這些文件仍保持機密狀態的理由很大程度上是為了保護仍然活著, 或可能還活著的機密消息來源的身份，和保護方法。
特朗普擔任總統時，曾應國家安全機構的要求同意不公佈與甘迺迪遇刺案有關的全部紀錄。但在2024年競選時他表示將公佈剩餘的文件。
So, Trump has signed an executive
order to release files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert
F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Despite previous pledges from presidents,
including Trump, to release those records, the CIA, Pentagon and State
Department still have documents they’ve refused to release in an effort to
protect the identities of confidential sources who are still alive, or might be
alive, and protecting methods. I am wondering whether the new information will attraction attention of historians.
