JFK files to be released the coming weeks with redaction

Trump is set to release the remaning JFK files with redaction. Keeping his promise to the public, U.S President Donald Trump is set to release the infamous JFK files. The files which he withdrew for re-evaluation is to be released soon, only this time with redaction.  

By law, all government documents related to the assassination were to be released on Thursday. But just before the release, President Donald Trump said he had “no choice” but to agree to requests from the CIA, FBI and other agencies to continue withholding some documents to protect national security and individual identities.

“The limited redactions relate to individuals who provided information during the course of the investigation, and whose lives may be at risk if they are publicly identified,” FBI spokeswoman Susan McKee said.

“Every effort is being made to lift the remaining redactions going forward as those personal safety concerns are balanced with the goal of maximum transparency,” she said.
