US President Donald Trump has said documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy will be released without any changes, confirming a campaign promise he made.
Mr Trump told reporters on Monday that his administration plans to release 80,000 documents on Tuesday, although it is unclear how many of those are among the millions of pages of material that have already been released.
“We have a tremendous amount of documentation. You're going to have to do a lot of reading,” Mr. Trump said at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
He also expressed confidence that no information from the documents would be edited.
“I said, 'Just don't edit. You can't edit,'” he added.
Many researchers who study the government's releases say the public should not expect sensational revelations from the newly released materials, although interest in details surrounding the murder and surrounding events remains high.
– Trump's order
Shortly after taking office, Mr Trump ordered the release of the remaining classified documents relating to the assassination, sparking widespread conspiracy theories.
He directed the director of national intelligence and the attorney general to develop a strategy for releasing the records.
The order also called for the declassification of remaining materials related to the 1968 assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
As he signed the order, Mr. Trump handed a pen to an aide and told him to give it to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who served as the Trump administration's top health official.
He is the nephew of John F. Kennedy and the son of Robert F. Kennedy.
