The Trump administration released thousands of pages of records related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) on March 18, almost two months after ordering the attorney general and director of national intelligence to draft a plan for their disclosure.

More than 1,100 files, with multiple pages per file in many instances, were dropped on the National Archives website at approximately 7 p.m. ET, and more than 1,000 files were released at 10:30 p.m. ET. The Epoch Times is reviewing the files, which include scanned copies of previously classified documents.
