JFK FILES RELEASED: What's inside? | LiveNOW from FOX

Thousands of pages of files related to the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy were released Tuesday afternoon.

Kennedy's assassination in Downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 has been a point of fascination for historians and conspiracy theorists over the years.

The release of the documents comes after President Trump signed an executive order calling for their release in the early days of his second term.

Some of the documents include information about Lee Harvey Oswald's travels to Finland and other places prior to the assassination. One of the documents features an assessment from a former KGB agent, who said they did not believe Oswald was ever controlled by the Russian agency after reviewing volumes of files. Other documents include follow-ups to requests for information to remain classified in the past.

The files have been prepared by a team underneath U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

Presidential historian James Robenalt joins LiveNOW's Austin Westfall to discuss.

they kept the files sealed so guilty people would be able to live out their lives and not go to prison. Shameful!!!

I can't wait for my grandkids to see the Epstein files in 65 years.

[essencetaiji]

The world is run by criminal sociopaths.

"We don't want to release the Epstein list, the P. Diddy files, etc, so here's something from 75 years ago people, get distracted with this"

[aldolirosi]

No! The real reason why they have waited so long to release those files is simply because after 62 years there is no one left who can be charged and put in jail😅

[Peteknowsyou]

The news should be: "any JFK files left that haven't been shredded by the CIA will now be released"

[thangelad]

If your country will do this to its President, it could do anything to you and me.

That's why when Oswalds widow never talked to any reporters, her only answer was, "Do you love your children it's obvious they went so low as to threaten her children if she told anything she knew.

[georgeshaw]

The CIA did it…. We have known it for years.

My oldest brother was drafted and sent to Vietnam in 1970. When he came back, he took me aside, and told me NEVER, EVER work for, or serve the government in ANY capacity.

Can't wait to hear Joe Rogan go through these documents with some sort of JFK conspiracy guy. Those episodes are the best

[spicencens]

Mom was hanging curtains & I was on the bed. The radio was on & she got down from the ladder and cried! I didn't know what happened, but she picked me up, and held me, crying.
One of my earliest memories.
I'll never forget it!

[fhuber]

Oswald was assassinated to cover up the conspiracy.

[jimhill]

I applaud these long-overdue publications.
It is time for the truth to be revealed to all those who still grieve
for a great President who should have been adequately protected.

[warrenmccann]

Yes it's 60+ years later but so what. This shows what the CIA is capable of. There is no reason to think that culture has changed. If anything it has probably gotten worse. Trump should do what Kennedy wanted to do and scatter this agency to the wind.

[warzshadow]

The Government NEVER wanted this released..ever.

[OldFArt-gxfh]

Johnson and Hoover were directly involved. Both benefited immensely from Kennedy’s death.

[winningjubbly]

"I'm a patsy!" -- Oswald.

Yup, he knew the score!

[RandomYoutubeHandle-]

We've known about this for decades, but it just goes to show how far the U.S. federal government would go to benefit themselves...

[charliejamz.]

If it weren’t for President Trump, I don’t think that these files would ever have become declassified, EVER.🇺🇸
