New details on Kennedy assassination? Not many

US authorities have declassified more documents about the assassination of John Kennedy. No sensations have been found in them yet. But there is still something interesting


The US authorities, on the orders of President Donald Trump, have declassified a new batch of documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. They have been published on the website of the US National Archives. The collection contains 2,182 documents, including photocopies of typewritten reports and handwritten notes — a total of about 63,000 pages. So far, nothing has been found in them that would refute the main conclusion of the Kennedy assassination commission — that he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, who acted alone. But the published archive is still valuable and interesting.

The declassified documents shed light on the work of the FBI and CIA during the Cold War. Tim Naftali, an adjunct professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, said the files were not released earlier not because they might change the narrative about the Kennedy assassination, but because they contained details about the sources and methods of the American intelligence agencies.

Journalists and historians have already concluded that most of the files from the new archive had already been made public earlier with "blank spots." Now they have simply been posted without cuts. Most of them are documents from American intelligence agencies about the investigation of Kennedy's assassination, the US relations with Cuba and Latin American countries.
