The White House will release thousands of documents relating to JFK’s murder
The U.S. is preparing to reveal thousands of documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Until now, the documents had been kept behind closed doors.
But a 1992 law requires the White House to release the documents before 2017.
The release of the files means 97 per cent of all records will be made available to the public.
The U.S. National Archives confirmed 515 documents will remain withheld in full. Meanwhile, 2,545 files will be partly withheld.
Many of the documents come from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
It follows a conclusion reached by Chief Justice Earl Warren Lee surrounding Harvey Oswald, who is the alleged offender.
The documents focus on Oswald’s movements and his contacts.
They show the U.S. Government opened a probe on Oswald in December 1960.
Historians are hoping to learn a bit more about the alleged assassin behind the 1963 murder. However, no major bombshells are expected.
