The U.S. National Archives released over 63,000 pages of previously redacted records related to President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination, following an order from President Donald Trump.

Axar.az, citing AP, reports that the release, part of an ongoing effort to declassify assassination-related files, included about 2,200 new documents, though some files remain withheld.

Historians and researchers, including Larry J. Sabato and Jefferson Morley, called the release a positive step but noted that key FBI and IRS records are still missing. One newly revealed memo from 1991 details a KGB officer’s claim that Lee Harvey Oswald was not controlled by the Soviet intelligence agency and was considered a poor marksman.

Despite the Warren Commission’s 1964 conclusion that Oswald acted alone, conspiracy theories persist, fueled by decades of secrecy.

Some newly released files include intelligence reports on Oswald’s activities before the assassination, including his visits to Soviet and Cuban embassies. Researchers continue to scrutinize the documents, looking for further insights into one of the most controversial events in American history.
