Former US president Donald Trump on Friday reiterated a promise to release the remaining classified records related to the assassination of President John F Kennedy, despite the fact that he failed to do so when he had the opportunity while in office for four years.
“When I return to the White House, I will declassify and unseal all JFK assassination related documents,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“It’s been 60 years, time for the American people to know the TRUTH!”

US President Joe Biden said last week that the National Archives had completed its review of still-classified records and recommended that some still be held back from public view.
“This action reflects his instruction that all information related to President Kennedy’s assassination should be released, except when the strongest possible reasons council otherwise,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at the White House.
