Late Tuesday, thousands of documents pertaining to President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination were released to the public, but it’s unknown what insights they might provide.
The files, which the National Archives still has on the 1968 assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Kennedy’s brother Robert F. Kennedy, were released by President Trump shortly after he took office.
The release of the remaining JFK files, according to presidential historians, may provide insight into certain aspects of the assassination on November 22, 1963, but it is unlikely to challenge the conventional wisdom that Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone shooter, fired the fatal shots on Kennedy’s motorcade from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas.
