WASHINGTON – Big news! Former U.S. President Donald Trump has just released thousands of secret documents about the shocking assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963. People have been waiting for years to see these files, and now, they’re finally available to the public!
The documents, which were put online by the National Archives, contain over 80,000 pages of information about JFK’s death. Some of them are old government reports, while others include handwritten notes and secret memos. But the big question remains: Do these files reveal the full truth about what really happened?
What Do These Secret Files Say?
Many of the documents talk about Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who was blamed for JFK’s death. Some records suggest that Oswald had been in the Soviet Union (which was America’s rival at the time), and there were rumors that he might have been planning the assassination even before he returned to the U.S.
Other documents, however, say the opposite – that Oswald had no real connection to the Soviet Union’s spy agency, the KGB. One report from 1991 even mentions a Russian official saying he read five thick files on Oswald and found no proof that he was working for them.
Were There Other People Involved?
For years, many people have believed that JFK’s assassination was not the work of just one person. Some think there was a secret plan involving spies, rival politicians, or even the U.S. government.
The new files don’t seem to prove any of these theories, but they do talk about a top-secret U.S. mission called “Operation Mongoose”. This was a plan started by JFK himself to secretly weaken the power of Cuba’s leader, Fidel Castro, who was a communist and an enemy of the U.S. at the time. Some wonder if this mission had anything to do with JFK’s assassination.
Why Did Trump Release These Files?
When Trump became president, he promised to release more information about JFK’s assassination so that Americans could finally learn the full truth. Many people still believe there’s more to the story than what was officially reported.
Even though these documents have now been released, some experts say they probably won’t change what we already know – that Oswald was the lone gunman who shot JFK from a building in Dallas, Texas.
But there are still many mysteries left. One of them is whether the CIA (America’s spy agency) knew more about Oswald than they admitted. The files mention that he visited Mexico City six weeks before JFK was killed and went to the Soviet Embassy there. What was he doing? Was someone helping him? We still don’t have all the answers.
What’s Next?
Trump has also promised to release secret files about the deaths of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy (JFK’s younger brother), both of whom were assassinated in 1968. People are hoping these documents will provide more clues about these tragic events, too.
For now, Americans and experts around the world are digging through the newly released documents, hoping to find clues, secrets, and maybe even answers to one of the biggest mysteries in history.
As Trump said, “People have been waiting for decades for this. It’s going to be very interesting.”
