President Donald Trump has ordered the release of thousands of classified governmental documents concerning the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, as well as records related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Martin Luther King Jr. This executive order is part of a series of actions taken in the first week of his second term. Donald Trump had previously promised to release these documents during his reelection campaign and his first term, though he withheld some due to appeals from the United States — Central Intelligence Agency and United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation. The order directs the director of national intelligence and the attorney general to develop a plan for the release of these records within 15 to 45 days. While many researchers do not anticipate earth-shattering revelations, there is significant public interest in the details surrounding these historical events. Donald Trump has also nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., John F. Kennedy's nephew, to be his health secretary; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed doubts about the official account of his uncle's assassination.
