The Trump administration released a new batch of classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, but experts say two-thirds of the promised files remain undisclosed.
The release has drawn criticism from JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, who condemned the handling of the files and the lack of prior notice to his family. Researchers and historians are analyzing the newly available documents for any significant revelations. Meanwhile, Trump's own national security team was reportedly caught off guard by the release.
The controversy has reignited debates over government transparency and lingering conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy’s assassination.
