The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the attorney general are set to unveil their proposed plan for the declassification of the JFK files on Friday. This move comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month to declassify files related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
President Trump, who had pledged during his campaign to reveal the truth behind these historical events, reiterated his commitment to transparency by stating, 'Everything will be revealed,' as he signed the executive order in the Oval Office.
Despite previous promises to release the documents during his first term, Trump faced challenges in doing so, citing concerns over potential harm to national security. This led to the blocking of the release of hundreds of records following appeals from the CIA and FBI.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was recently sworn in, is yet to address Trump's order regarding the declassification of the JFK files. Bondi, currently in New Orleans to assess security measures for Super Bowl LIX, is expected to focus on combating violent crime and terrorism as part of the administration's broader agenda.
Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's nominee for DNI, advanced through the Intel Committee with support from all Republican members. Gabbard's confirmation process has raised questions about her past interactions with figures like Bashar al-Assad, her stance on FISA Section 702, and her support for Edward Snowden.
As the proposed plan for declassification is awaited, the public remains eager to uncover the long-awaited truths surrounding these historic events.
