[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – Hello everyone, this is Samuel A. Lopez from USA Herald, and I’m here to share a groundbreaking development that has the legal and historical communities abuzz.
On January 23, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a sweeping Executive Order mandating the long-delayed release of all Federal Government records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Yet, despite the Executive Order’s clarion call for transparency, many questions remain. Will these documents be heavily redacted? Will new redactions be proposed? And what does the law—particularly the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992—actually say about withholding such information?
Below, I’ll delve into the specifics of this Executive Order, the legal background that underpins it, and the swirling speculations about who might be implicated—and why the government may have fought tooth and nail to keep these documents under wraps.
