President JoeBiden orders release of once-classified Kennedy assassination files
Biden on Thursday said he had authorized the National Archives to release more than 70% of records previously withheld from the public nearly 60 years after the event.
The president said some government agencies “[had] identified a limited number of records containing information for continued postponement of public disclosure,” necessitating redactions or further withholding. “Obviously, there's a national security component here, but he is committed to getting that information out,” Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. “Right now, we're seeing more than 97% of the collection that's out there.”
