Historians say the Trump-ordered release of more information on the killings of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., could be interesting but unlikely to rewrite history.
With the expected release of the remaining JFK assassination files following President Donald Trump's executive order, here is a look back on the documents' original declassification timeline.
"It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay."
President Trump signed an executive order to declassify any remaining files from John F. Kennedy's assassination. JFK was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas in 1963.
The images implied that either U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, or his father, Rafael Cruz, killed former President John F. Kennedy Jr.
The executive order demands that the attorney general and director of national intelligence “present a plan within 15 days for the full and complete release” of the JFK assassination records. Next, they will “immediately review” the records related to the RFK and MLK Jr. assassinations and present a plan for their release within 45 days.
Many people who studied what was released so far say the public shouldn't anticipate any earth-shattering revelations, but there is still intense interest in details related to the assassination.
When President Donald Trump announced an executive order Thursday to release the remaining government files in three of the country’s most notorious assassinations, it immediately grabbed public attention and raised intrigue.
The image was digitally edited to change the contents of the document and add references to Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton and the Zodiac killer.
