BREAKING: Trump says JFK Files Release is Tomorrow!
In this DML Report…
NOTE: The DML Newsletter stated EPSTEIN FILES versus JFK FILES. HUMAN ERROR ON MY PART. Sorry, DML.
During a visit to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on March 17, President Donald Trump announced the imminent release of 80,000 pages of previously classified, unredacted files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This announcement came shortly after Trump attended his first board meeting at the performing arts venue, marking a significant moment in his administration’s ongoing efforts to declassify historical records. The release, scheduled for March 18, 2025, fulfills a campaign promise Trump made to make public the remaining secret documents surrounding the 1963 assassination, an event that has fueled decades of conspiracy theories and public fascination.
The decision to release these files stems from an executive order Trump signed on January 23, 2025, mandating the declassification of all remaining documents related to the JFK assassination, as well as records pertaining to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. This action follows years of delays, as the intelligence community successfully lobbied during Trump’s first term to postpone the release, citing national security concerns. The 1992 President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act had initially set a 2017 deadline for releasing these files, but ongoing redactions and withholdings have kept many documents secret until now. The recent discovery of an additional 2,400 records by the FBI, attributed to “technological advances,” has further heightened anticipation about what new revelations might emerge.

Trump’s announcement has not been without controversy, particularly in light of allegations from political commentator Tucker Carlson, who claimed that Senator Tom Cotton, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, worked behind the scenes to block the release. Cotton, born 14 years after the assassination, denied these claims on Fox News, stating he had “no idea what’s in the files” and expressing confidence in their release as directed by Trump. The declassification effort is part of a broader push by the administration, though it faces legal challenges, with critics questioning the transparency and motives behind the timing of the release. As the public awaits the documents, the move underscores Trump’s strategy to leverage historical transparency for political gain, while reigniting debates about government secrecy and the truth behind one of America’s most enduring mysteries.
