Deep dives
The Importance of JFK File Disclosure
The ongoing discussion around the JFK assassination centers on the need for full disclosure of related government documents. Despite promises from both Donald Trump and Joe Biden to release remaining JFK files, loopholes in the JFK Records Act have prevented this from happening. Approximately 3,400 documents still contain redactions, with many others completely withheld, indicating a lack of transparency and accountability. Advocacy for a more systematic approach to declassification is essential for understanding the complexities surrounding the assassination.
