Donald Trump has revealed that the files pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy will be released on Tuesday March 18.
The move comes just weeks after the current commander in chief signed an executive order to declassify the material.
"People have been waiting decades for this," Trump said Monday, "and I've instructed my people that are responsible ... and that's gonna be released tomorrow."
"More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events," the aforementioned executive order read, per the Daily Mail. "Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth," it continued. "It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay."
Kennedy was shot on November 22, 1963 in Dallas as his motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza. He died a short time later at Parkland Memorial Hospital. In the decades since, many have sought more information about his death, and while millions of pages from government files have been released, thousands still remain tightly guarded.
