The 35th President of the USA, John F. Kennedy, died as a result of an assassination in Texas, where he went for his election campaign on November 22, 1963. At noon, Kennedy was driving through the convoy in Dallas in an open-top car with his wife, and fire was opened on him. The president, who was hit by three bullets in the neck, throat and head, died on the way to the hospital.
Most of the documents related to the mysterious death of John Kennedy are in the archives of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). NARA had released many non-confidential documents in previous years as required by the 1992 JFK law. Later, President Donald Trump also made thousands of confidential documents available to citizens in 2017. Last month, the FBI also released classified documents of the 9/11 attacks, at the behest of Joe Biden.
Confidential documents about the assassination will be released
The death of John Kennedy as a result of an assassination during the election campaign still remains a mystery. The case, led by the then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren, concluded that the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald was carried out alone. However, it was later announced that the assassination might have been a conspiracy due to lack of evidence. Although there are still many unexplained points about the assassination, many documents and information have been accessed since then. It is planned that 250 thousand confidential documents, which make up 90% of the documents in the NARA collection about the assassination, will be made public.
In the statement made by the White House with the approval of US President Joe Biden, it was announced that some of the documents related to the assassination of President Kennedy will be made available on December 15, and the rest will be made available within the next year after the necessary arrangements are completed. In fact, the editing work by NARA was expected to be completed earlier. However, the Covid-19 outbreak caused the work on documents to be disrupted. The US Archives said the postponement was necessary to prevent possible damage to military defence, intelligence, law enforcement, and the course of international relations.
The redacted documents are expected to clarify dozens of conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination. It is obvious that the conspiracy theories that have disappeared will be replaced by new theories.
