Since the adoption of this law, approximately 320,000 documents have been examined, 99 percent of which were published, according to the national administration of archives and records.
The deadline that all documents were to be published was in 2017, during Trump’s first term.

2023. President Joe Biden published about 17,000 Multiple documents, leaving 4,684 documents still partially or completely denied about JFK death.
What conspiracy theories have appeared on the assassination?
Three assassinations, especially in JFK, are bordered in mysteries because the CIA and the FBI have retained several documents classified, deleting conspiracy theories.
The US public, government officials, and even some members of the late family leaders, suspect the final conclusions of the investigation into those deaths. Some believe that the accused killer did not act alone and that significant details of the killings were retained.
“I’m just Patsy!” Oswald said in a video recorded after an arrest for assassination on JFK at the Dallas Police Headquarters. Many read it as Oswald himself, saying he was a sacrificial goat and did not act alone.
The Warren Commission concluded that a single bullet of 6.5 millimeters killed JFK and injured Governor Connally. Many doubt that this finding and thought it was amazing that the bullet went through the bodies of two adult men. Critics also doubt the bullet path.
The footage of the assassination of the clothing manufacturer Abraham Zapruder shows the creepy frame of the JFK head that crashed while the second shot hit the skull. For years, this part of the film has not been released in public until ABC News broadcast it in 1975.
The fact that Oswald was killed shortly after he was arrested, and therefore no trial was also encouraged by conspiracy theories.
Robert F Kennedy JrTrump’s Health Secretary of the Election and Sin RFK, said in 2023 that there was “irresistible” evidence that the CIA was involved in the murder of his uncle, JFK.
He said there were also “very convincing” but “unusual” evidence that CIA was involved in his father’s murder.
After meeting Sirhana in prison, Kennedy Jr said: “I am upset that the wrong person may have been convicted of the murder of my father. My father was the main clerk to enforce the law in this country. I think it would be upset if someone had been put In prison because of the crimes they did not commit, “he was reported by the Washington Post, saying in 2018.
The MLK family does not believe Ray killed him and said they thought his murder was the consequence of the FBI conspiracy. Ray is also not a trial because he acknowledged guilt to avoid the death penalty.
“It hurts my heart that James Earl Ray had to spend his life in prison paying things he hadn’t done,” said Bernica King, the youngest of four MLK children, according to Washington Post 2018.
The MLK family filed a wrong law lawsuit entitled “King Family V Jowers and other unknown co-configners” in 1999. Loyd Jowers was the owner of a restaurant near the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis. In 1993, Jowers told ABC News that his alleged Mamphis Mafiaš Frank Liberto paid him $ 100,000 to arrange MLK assassination.
The jury of Memphis ruled that Jowers and “conspirators”, including “Government agencies” were responsible for the murder. The family said they were satisfied with this judgment. Mlk -O’s son, Dexter, said after the verdict: “After today, we don’t want questions like:” Do you believe James Earl Ray killed your father? “I’ve heard it all my life. No, no, and this is the end.”
