President Donald Trump said while touring the Kennedy Center on Monday that he is releasing all of the files related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy this week and that they will likely not be redacted.
Trump told reporters that the release will happen Tuesday afternoon and will include approximately 80,000 documents.
“While we’re here, I thought it would be appropriate, we are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said. “So people have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people, put together by Tulsi Gabbard, and that’s going to be released tomorrow.”
“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, just don’t redact. You can’t redact,” he continued. “But we’re going to be releasing the JFK files, and that would be tomorrow.”
Trump suggested that he has not personally seen all the documents, but he has heard about them.
The president added that there will be no summaries released with the documents and that the public and the media will have to come up with their own conclusions.
“It’s approximately 80,000 pages,” he said. “So it’s a lot of stuff, and you’ll make your own determination.”
