tied back to the distrust in government and the questions left very much open about the assassination of jfk jr. s father, president john f. kennedy, question that still linger 59 years after his assassination in dealey plaza in dallas. the warren commission concluded lee harvey oswald was the lone gunman in dallas on november 22, 1963. a lot of americans don t believe that. and today, president biden ordered the national archives to release additional documents related to kennedy s murder more than 13,000 are now public. thousands of other documents that the white house says could harm intelligence operations, law enforcement, or foreign relgs will stay partly or completely under seal. politico reported much of the information is expected to come from the cia s personality file of information on oswald collected before and after the assassination. the records were supposed to be released in full in 2017 under a deadline in the 1992 kennedy
the investigation. and the author of cruel and shocking act:the history of the kennedy assassination. what was revealed overnight that we should focus on the most? well, i think the overreaching conclusion that i came to yesterday is that the government delivered a very poor response to a 1992 law. i mean, if everybody wants to believe the government was behind killing president kennedy, yesterday s action on the document production was exhibit a on poorly they executed that. in the files themselves, one of the things that i think will shock most people is that the central intelligence agency had more information on oswald than they let the warren commission and the fbi know as well as the american people. most people are completely surprised that the cia had, as
why. that s one of the more important things to myself. the other thing is that the more material they hold back, the more suspicious people become that they are hiding something. i don t think they need to do that. i think it should be released. i m looking for information that suggest the government knew more than about this man, lee harvey oswald. a lot suggested he was a threat and if they acted on it, maybe the president would have survived his trip to dallas. he went to the soviet embassy and the cuban embassy. is there information that could come out about what the cia or fbi or other agencies that they might have known about his intent? we were never provided any information on oswald until after the fact. you never heard his name
