Trump Says He Will Release Final Set of Documents on Kennedy Assassination

• New York Times

"Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened," Mr. Trump said on Twitter.

The release of the information being held in secret at the National Archives — including several thousand never-before-seen documents — was mandated to occur by Oct. 26 under a 1992 law that sought to quell conspiracy theories about the assassination.

Mr. Trump has the power to block the release of the documents, and intelligence agencies have pressured him to do so for at least some of them. The agencies are concerned that information contained in some of the documents could damage national security interests.

The president did not make clear what he meant when he said in his tweet that the release of the documents would be "subject to the receipt of further information." A White House official did not immediately respond to emails seeking clarification.
