As the Trump administration pushes out controversial policy changes, thousands of declassified files concerning the 1963 assassination of former President John F. Kennedy have been released.
While historians, journalists and amateur sleuths pour over the files looking for a scrap of anything new, many have speculated that their release is a “distraction” tactic by the administration. The 2,200 files containing approximately 63,000 pages were posted by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration Tuesday evening after President Donald Trump ordered their release.
