Report Card on Newly Declassified Files

This week the media sites and airwaves were full of critiques, roundups and fact-checks on President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. At JFK Facts, we already had a report card highlighting a list of 15 key assassination-related records, known to exist, which theoretically House investigators could make public quickly. (The list was also provided to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, chair of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.) Indeed, we already gave an interim grade of D-plus to Trump, 30 days after he signed Executive Order 14176 calling for “full and complete” disclosure of JFK assassination records.

JFK Facts’ Jefferson Morley this week updated the administration’s grade to B-minus, writing that the cause of full JFK disclosure has advanced considerably.

More than 2,500 documents from 15 federal agencies or entities were released starting on March 18. JFK researchers immediately found revelatory material. Eight of the 15 documents on the list I gave to Luna became public.
