The final batch of classified documents. A short time ago, the white house now explaining why weve seen nothing so far. Teams of historians and reporters waiting all day long to learn more about that fateful day, including what more did the cia possibly know about Lee Harvey Oswald before the assassination .

The president an open target for assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. President kennedy has been shot in dallas, texas. Reporter from the getgo, the news was so hard to believe. A single man with a rifle killing the protected leader of the free world. Then, just days late end on Live Television there is lee oswald [ gunshot ] hes been shot reporter the man who pulled the trigger, shot and killed himself in the custody of police officers. All of this sparking intrigue and doubt. Assassins need payrolls, schedules, times, orders. This was a militarystyle ambush from start to finish, a coup detat with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings. Reporter the film jfk, and its fictional plot surrounding a conspiracy to kill kennedy, fueling even more speculation, and, in part, leading congress to pass a law to release all federal assassination records by today. Experts say some of those secret documents concern oswald, and his trip to mexico city seven weeks before the killing. His visits to the Russian Embassy and cuban consulate there, and possibly what the cia and fbi knew about his intentions to want to kill the president. And everyone will be mining the documents for any clues to the big question did oswald act alone . I would like to think that these documents would be a final answer, where americans could look at this case and say, okay, this is what happened. But realistly, thats never going to happen. And the wait continues. Tom llamas, one of those reporters waiting all day. Hes live tonight at the national archive. We are expecking some of those times still tonight . Reporter thats right, david. About 2,800 files will be released tonight. The delay on those other files, it was because President Trump felt they were a threat to National Security, if they were to be released, but theyre going to be reexamined.

Abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tonight. Reporter with the stroke of a pen today, President Trump declared the Opioid Epidemic the worst drug crisis in american history. I am directing all executive agencies to use every appropriate Emergency Authority to fight the opioid crisis. Reporter the declaration means patients in rural areas can reach doctors and obtain prescriptions to treat addiction by phone or internet. Unemployed workers who lost their jobs because of addiction will receive job training and assistance. And it lifts bureaucratic red tape, allowing more funding for Treatment Centers in all 50 states. But the president stopped short of declaring a sweeping national emergency, something he has repeatedly promised. Its a national emergency. Were going to spend a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of money. Reporter today, he said something slightly different, calling it a Public Health emergency. That means his action does not include emergency federal money to address the crisis that kills nearly 100 people a day. For more than a year, abc news followed families battling the effects of addiction. In New Hampshire, david sat down with rory smith, who found his son, aaron, in their basement, overdosed.

Reporter late today, kerry told us, the problem in New Hampshire has only gotten worse. People desperate for treatment, often having to wait weeks. Now, from President Trump, a familiar call to action targeting young people with a just say no style ad campaign. If we can teach young people, and people generally, not to start, its really, really easy not to take them. Reporter the president said his own wakeup call came from his older brother, fred. Great guy, best looking guy, best personality, much better than mine, but he had a problem. He had a problem with alcohol, and he would tell me, dont drink. Dont drink. He would say it over and over and over again. And to this day, ive never had a drink. And cecilia vega joining us from the white house. And cecilia, it was deeply person, the president s story, but the white house is still facing tough questions tonight about whether the president s action today is an adequate response for a crisis of this magnitude. Reporter david, this comes at a time when the Health Secretary here was fired for questions over his use of private jets. The drug czar recently resigned no replacement has been named. And tonight, democrats are sounding the alarm about funding. Nancy pelosi today said, show me the money. But david, as you know, the president , right there in that story, called this a winnable war.

Reporter but you went up because i had a business appointment. Which is as thats, you know, his pattern of sexual predation. That was how he rolled.

What i would say to harvey is, i love you, and i understand that you are sick and suffering, and there is help for a guy like you, too, and its entirely up to you to get that help. That was an unexpected answer from ashley. In the meantime, whats really staggering is the number of women across this country who have reached out to you. Reporter millions and millions and millions of women are speaking out. And i think ashley judd, all the women who have spoken out so far are asking, can we make this moment matter somehow .
