The Trump administration fulfilled its promise to release the JFK files yesterday, with 80,000 pages of files (mostly unredacted) being put online by the National Archives. In a note announcing the release, the Archives wrote:
In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released.
The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with the President’s directive in support of Executive Order 14176.
As of March 18, 2025, the records are available to access either online at this page or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. As the records continue to be digitized, they will be posted to this page.
