Trump orders the release of the final classified JFK assassination documents

The last secret files on the assassination of John F. Kennedy can now be published after President Donald Trump ordered the release of all remaining documents on the 1963 assassination on Thursday.

Conspiracy theories continue to swirl 60 years after the murder.

And any new information will excite amateur sleuths, who continue to wonder if there's more to the story than just a lone gunman in the form of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Trump signed an executive order directing his Director of National Intelligence to prepare a plan within 15 days for the full release of documents related to JFK's assassination.

“That's a big one, isn't it?” He said as he scribbled his signature on the order before asking for the pen to be given to RFK Jr. 'A lot of people have been waiting for this for a long time… years, decades.

“All will be revealed.”

The executive order, obtained by DailyMail.com, read: “More than fifty years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the federal government has made all his documents relating to those events public.

“Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release without delay all documents relating to these murders.”

Conspiracies have existed for decades claiming that JFK's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was not a lone actor and worked with Soviets or Cubans – or even the US CIA.

Conspiracies have been going on for decades claiming that JFK's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was not a lone actor and worked with Soviets or Cubans – or even the US CIA.

His intelligence chiefs have 45 days to formulate a plan to release RFK and King's archives.

Millions of pages of JFK documents have already been declassified, leaving only a few thousand remaining in the archives.

The latest releases include CIA cables and memos documenting Oswald's visits to the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico City weeks before the assassination.

And experts doubt whether major revelations lurk in the archives that would change the accepted version of events.

Trump promised during his re-election campaign that he would release the remaining government documents surrounding the assassination.

He made a similar promise during his first term, but gave way to the CIA and FBI, which argued that some documents should be kept from the public for fear they would reveal national security secrets.

Trump teased his plan Wednesday night during his Fox News interview with Sean Hannity.

“I'm going to release them immediately,” he said.

'We're going to look at the information. We are looking into it now.'

Trump said he was persuaded by Mike Pompeo, his former CIA director, not to release them during his first term.

“I was actually asked by Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State, not to do that, and I felt like he knew something that maybe, you know, when he asked you not to do that, you kind of said, “Why?” and he felt it was not a good time to release them,” Trump said.

The hidden data gave conspiracy theorists the freedom to speculate about what could possibly be hidden.

Was Oswald in the employ of the Cubans or the Soviets? Was he a patsy? Why did nightclub owner Jack Ruby shoot him live on TV?

The new executive order, signed by Trump in the Oval Office, reads: “I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from documents relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is inconsistent with the public interest and declassification of these records is long overdue.”
