The long-awaited release of tens of thousands of John F. Kennedy assassination documents is facing a delay.
Despite President Trump’s executive order demanding full transparency without redactions, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has scrambled to conduct a last-minute review.
According to a report from Reuters, the DOJ’s National Security Division ordered an emergency review of between 400 and 500 documents per lawyer, just hours after President Trump announced the files would finally see the light of day.
Christopher Robinson, a high-ranking official within the DOJ’s Office of Intelligence, instructed every available attorney to comb through the documents—excluding only those on approved leave. The review was set to be completed by noon the following day.
It is now almost 7:00 pm Eastern time, and the files are still not released.
This is a developing story.
