US President Donald Trump has ordered the declassification of the last secret files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy - a case that still fuels conspiracy theories more than 60 years after his death, AFP reports.
Trump signed an executive order that will also make public documents about the 1960s assassinations of the president's younger brother, Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
"This is big, huh? A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades," Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office of the White House.
"All will be revealed," he added.
After signing the order, the Republican handed the pen he was using to an aide, saying:
"Give this to Robert F. Kennedy Jr," John F. Kennedy's nephew and the current president's nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services.
The order, which Trump signed, requires the "full and complete release" of John F. Kennedy's records, without the redactions he adopted back in 2017 when he released the bulk of the documents.
"It is in the national interest to finally release all documents related to these assassinations without delay," the order said. | BGNES
