Just as people were beginning to wonder if it was going to happen at all, the Trump administration uploaded thousands of files related to the JFK assassination into the National Archives early evening Tuesday.

President John F. Kennedy was murdered on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, in broad daylight. The U.S. government’s subsequent Warren Commission report, prompted by President Lyndon B. Johnson and released 10 months after the incident, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, a poor shot with a rickety foreign rifle, did the job, and he alone did it.

But the American public overwhelmingly rejected that theory, especially after Abraham Zapruder’s video surfaced. Previously declassified documents revealed that Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) station managers provided instructions to agents on how to convince more people of the Warren Commission’s unconvincing conclusion.
