On March 9, 2025, sixty-two years after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the National Archives released 2,400 previously undisclosed records, as confirmed by CNN. Triggered by President Trump’s January 23 executive order, this declassification marks a significant step in a decades-long quest for clarity surrounding November 22, 1963. Social media platform X, under the hashtag #JFKFiles, has surged to 2.5 million views since February, reflecting widespread public intrigue. Do these documents illuminate the truth behind Kennedy’s death, or do they merely prolong the mystery? The evidence is laid bare—facts unfiltered, sources transparent.
This release stems from a February 11 discovery by the FBI, which identified 2,400 overlooked files—totaling 14,000 pages—following Trump’s directive to declassify all records related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK, according to Reuters. Accessible now at archives.gov/jfk, these join the 5 million pages released since 2017 under the JFK Records Act. Early analyses from AP highlight Oswald’s September 1963 Mexico City visit—Cuban embassy logs and CIA cables—while a February 25 report from Fox News reveals a file naming a CIA asset, codenamed “Raven,” monitoring Oswald in Dallas before the shooting. Yet, CBS notes 3,000 documents remain withheld, fueling skepticism.
Transparency anchors this story—the FBI announced on February 12: “2,400 newly inventoried records, previously unrecognized,” now fully public. The National Archives launched an updated JFK portal on February 28, per Archives.gov, offering unrestricted access. A congressional task force, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, pressed DNI Tulsi Gabbard on March 4 to expedite this release, as detailed by Oversight.house.gov. Plans for a March 26 visit to Dallas, reported by Fox 4 Dallas, signal continued scrutiny, with X’s #JFKDallas garnering 800,000 views.
The scientific lens sharpens the debate: the Warren Commission established a single 6.5mm Carcano bullet, fired at 1,600 feet per second, killed Kennedy, per NARA. However, a 1979 Science study of acoustic evidence suggests a second shooter on the grassy knoll—a theory these files could test. New documents reveal CIA surveillance of Oswald’s Soviet contacts and a Mexico City meeting with “Raven,” per CNN, while a March 5 leak from The Times ties Jack Ruby to a Mob phone call on November 21, 1963 (NYMag). In contrast, RFK’s 1968 assassination files point clearly to Sirhan Sirhan, per AP, leaving JFK’s case uniquely contentious—65% of Americans still suspect a conspiracy, according to Gallup.
The stakes are high: 3,000 files remain classified, with the CIA citing national security, as noted by ABC. The task force, including Reps. Luna and Comer, has scheduled March hearings, per Dallas News, yet the Justice Department continues its review, begun in February (CBS). Public frustration mounts—X’s #JFKReveal logs 600,000 views, decrying redactions that defy Trump’s “full disclosure” pledge (WhiteHouse). A March 6 Fox News report suggests “Raven” panicked over Oswald’s knowledge, while historian Fredrik Logevall cautions against expecting a definitive answer, per Reuters.
This release demands accountability—Kennedy’s legacy deserves no less. The FBI and National Archives have opened significant doors, yet the CIA’s reticence persists. The call is clear: unredact every page, make every detail public. Readers are urged to examine these records and press for complete disclosure.
