The United States government has begun to launch a Treasury of Documents about the murder of President John F Kennedy, a case that still causes conspiracy theories more than 60 years later.
The statement follows an executive order in January by President Donald Trump that required that the unwritten files in the case were made public.
Historians do not expect many innovative revelations in the records, which they were combing after the launch of Tuesday night. Trump has estimated that 80,000 pages of documents will be revealed.
The US authorities have previously published hundreds of thousands of JFK documents, but have delayed some of the national security concerns. Many Americans still believe that the armed man, Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone.
Kennedy was shot during a visit to Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.
It is not clear how much of Kennedy material launched by the National Archives and Records Administration is new.
According to experts, many of the documents have been published partially written.
“You have a lot of reading,” Trump told journalists on Monday, providing the launch. “I don’t think we are going to write anything.”
But some of the hundreds of unleashed files on Tuesday night seemed to have darkened passages, according to Media US, while others were difficult to read because they are faded or poorly scanned photocopies.
A government commission determined that President Kennedy was fired by Lee Harvey Oswald, a self -written marine and Marxist veteran who had defected the Soviet Union and then returned to the United States.
But opinion polls for decades have indicated that most Americans do not believe that Oswald was the only murderer.
The unanswered questions have long pursued the case, giving rise to theories about the participation of government agents, mafia and other nefarious characters, as well as more external claims.
In 1992, Congress approved a law to publish all documents related to research within 25 years.
Both Trump in his first mandate and President Joe Biden published lots of documents related to JFK, but thousands had still kept partially or completely secretly.
Trump’s executive order two months ago also asked the government archivists to release files related to the murders of presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy and the Martin Luther King Jr civil rights icon, who were shot dead in 1968.
The Republican President had promised during the White House race last year to release JFK files, shortly after ensuring the support of Robert F Kennedy Jr, JFK’s nephew and Robert Kennedy’s son.
Kennedy JR has become Trump’s Secretary of Health.
