President Joe Biden has delayed the release of classified documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

A memo signed by Biden on Oct. 22 was released by the White House, citing the pandemic for the delay. It did not make clear exactly how the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the release of the records, which have to be released to comply with a 1992 act of Congress that was signed by then-President George H.W. Bush
