The Trump administration has published approximately 80,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, APA reports citing Idaho News.
It's not immediately clear how many of the files are among the millions of pages of records that have already been made public. However, Fox News reports that because of the sheer size of the documents being released, it will take a few days to fully release the files.
As of March 18, 2025 records were made available to access online or in person at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. The records will continue to be digitized and posted on the National Archives website.
In total, 1,123 PDF files were released on Tuesday, with most of them relating to the initial investigation of the assassination in 1964.
The National Archives has released more than six million pages of records, with a majority having already been declassified.
Among the documents released, many are administrative records that are related to the Warren Commission -- the records of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.
The compilation includes information from federal agencies, photos, recordings, as well as commission hearings on the assassination.
Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963 while riding in an open motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Police arrested 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald, who had positioned himself from a sniper’s perch on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building. Just days later, nightclub owner Jack Ruby fatally shot Oswald during a jail transfer.

The last large document drop came in 2022 when the National Archives released nearly 13,000 new files related to the assassination.
The Justice Department's National Security Division has been working around the clock to meet Trump's promise, according to ABC News.
