The president's skeleton in the closet: why Trump wants to declassify JFK assassination documents

Will a major mystery in American history be solved

Earlier, on January 24, The New York Post reported that Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former 35th US President John F. Kennedy, criticized Trump for his decision to declassify documents about the circumstances of his grandfather's case. He also stressed that he sees nothing heroic in this act.

Prior to that, on January 23, Trump announced that he would declassify all remaining files concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy (1961-1963), his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Kennedy was wounded by a rifle shot on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a motorcade. He died half an hour later at Parkland Hospital.
