The National Archives recently published a new webpage featuring the declassified records on former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. The new webpage comes after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to declassify records on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a recent press release, the National Archives announced the launch of the new webpage, saying, “To further its commitment to maximum transparency, the National Archives today launched a new website landing page that provides easy access to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection.”
The National Archives added, “This webpage will host already-released documents and items within the Collection, and will be the future home of documents and items that will be released.”
In a Wednesday statement on X, formerly Twitter, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) confirmed that “all declassified JFK documents will be housed” at the new National Archives webpage as the documents are declassified by the Trump administration. Luna said she was planning on meeting with Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) and the House Oversight Committee on Thursday to discuss the “timeline” for the release of the assassination documents.

The Republican representative added, “Radical transparency is what the American people mandated and it is what they will get.”
According to the recent National Archives press release, the new webpage was created in response to the “Declassification of Records Concerning the Assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” executive order, which was signed by Trump on January 23.
The press release noted that the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Collection includes over six million pages of records, artifacts, photographs, sound recordings, and motion pictures related to Kennedy’s assassination. The National Archives explained that the “vast majority” of the collection has already been declassified and is available to the public online or in person at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
The National Archives added that it is “ready to receive and process any further declassification decisions made by President Trump or by other agencies of the United States Government.”
