Trump Signs Order to Declassify Files on JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassinations
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at declassifying government documents on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. The move is expected to shed new light on the events surrounding their deaths and may shed light on conspiracy theories that have circulated for decades.
Famed doctor and forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who investigated the JFK assassination, believes that the declassified documents will provide new insights into the events surrounding the president’s death. “The various conspiracy theories and other criticisms of the investigation continued and arose after our report and have been amplified by the fact that the entire report was never released by the investigation conducted by Congress,” Dr. Baden said.
The delay in releasing the documents may be due to concerns over national security and the potential embarrassment it could bring to the intelligence community. Dr. Baden noted that the government agencies involved, such as the FBI and CIA, may have been concerned that the release of the documents could jeopardize confidential information.
The assassination of JFK sent shockwaves across the country and led to a number of conspiracy theories. Dr. Baden, who was part of the Select Committee on Assassinations, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination. However, the committee’s report was met with skepticism, and many questions remain unanswered.
The release of the documents may also shed light on Oswald’s motivation for killing the president. Dr. Baden believes that the documents may provide information on whether Oswald was hired by the mafia or another government agency to carry out the assassination.
The 14,000 documents that are set to be released may provide new insights into the events surrounding the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK. While Dr. Baden believes that the conclusions of the Select Committee on Assassinations are still valid, he also believes that the documents may provide new information that could change the public’s understanding of the events.
