What we know about newly released JFK assassination files

More than 60 years since former US President John F Kennedy was shot dead in 1963, unredacted documents related to the assassination in Dallas, Texas, have been released. 
Around 2,200 files consisting of more than 63,000 pages were posted on the US National Archives and Records Administration’s website on Tuesday evening.

The release was prompted after President Donald Trump signed an executive order back in January calling for unredacted files in the case to be made public.
“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading,” Mr Trump said on Monday, claiming that 80,000 pages would be made available to the public – a slight overestimate on the actual amount that was released.
It is the second time the US leader has ordered the release of Kennedy papers, doing so during his first time in office in 2017, where he ended up holding some back because of what he said was potential harm to national security.
