Prompted by an executive order signed by President Biden, The National Archives and Records Administration released 13,173 documents on Thursday that shed further light on the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy.
As CBS points out in their coverage of the release of this new batch of documents, the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 called for the release of all documents pertaining to the assassination by October 2017, "unless doing so would harm national security or intelligence sources, or violate certain privacy protections." Many of the documents previously made public were heavily redacted and many others were withheld for those very reasons stated above.
