Biden orders release of once-classified Kennedy assassination files – By Katherine Doyle (Washington Examiner) / Dec 15, 2022
President Joe Biden ordered the release of a new batch of classified records related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
Biden on Thursday said he had authorized the National Archives to release more than 70% of records previously withheld from the public nearly 60 years after the event.
The president’s executive order authorizes the full release of more than 11,000 documents while keeping some of the most sensitive files from public view.
“Pursuant to my direction, agencies have undertaken a comprehensive effort to review the full set of almost 16,000 records that had previously been released in redacted form and determined that more than 70 percent of those records may now be released in full,” Biden wrote in the order. “This significant disclosure reflects my Administration’s commitment to transparency and will provide the American public with greater insight and understanding of the Government’s investigation into this tragic event in American history.”
