President Trump\u2019s decision to authorize the release of classified files tied to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy sparked criticism from JFK\u2019s grandson, Jack Schlossberg.\n

Trump argues that the American people have a right to uncover the full story behind the assassination of the former president, as well as the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy.\n

The executive order he signed declares: \u201cMore than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the federal government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events.\u201d\n

It also states: \u201cTheir families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.\u201d\n

\"\"\n

Signing the order, Trump faced the reporters and remarked, \u201cEverything will be revealed.\u201d\n

The assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were officially attributed to lone gunmen. However, the prolonged classification of records related to these events fueled a wave of conspiracy theories over the years.\n

\u201cLot of people are waiting for this for a long, long time, for years, for decades, and everything will be revealed,\u201d Trump stated.\n

\"\"\n

While some praised Trump\u2019s decision, Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of JFK, strongly criticized it.\n

\u201cJFK conspiracy theories \u2014 The truth is a lot sadder than the myth \u2014 a tragedy that didn\u2019t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.\n

\u201cDeclassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he\u2019s not here to punch back. There\u2019s nothing heroic about it,\u201d he shared on X.\n

Many users responded to his post, questioning whether Schlossberg had personally reviewed the files. He fired back, \u201cI know everything d***.\u201d\n

One user remarked, \u201cImagine not wanting to know how your grandfather died\u2026 how weird.\u201d\n

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, expressed his gratitude towards Donald Trump for nominating him as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Speaking with NBC News, Kennedy Jr. stated, \u201cI\u2019m very grateful to President Trump.\u201d\n

He went on to say, \u201cI think it\u2019s a great move, because they need to have more transparency in our government, and he\u2019s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything.\u201d\n

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Five years later, his brother, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was also tragically killed while serving as New York\u2019s senator.\n

The civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was fatally shot on April 4, 1968, while standing on a motel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee.\n

Donald Trump has voiced his support for the release of related files, describing it as \u201clong overdue.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
