Trump JFK files release welcomed by Congress as ‘restoration’ of public trust

The legislators on both sides of the corridor are praising the Trump administration’s release of government documents about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

The National Archives released a slice of about 80,000 pages late on Tuesday night, which is part of a long -term promise by President Donald Trump to raise the level of information on the historical event.

Although it does not seem to have information information in the initial version, Representative Steve Cohen, D-Ten, a progressive democratic who participated in promoting the publication of Kennedy’s files, was among those who praised this step.

“It is too early to know if there is a lot in the documents that were issued today, but it is good that some progress towards the goal of complete disclosure is underway,” Cohen said on Tuesday night. “The assassinations of the sixties of the last century must be understood in their full historical context and the documents that are released will help us to reach there.”

“President Trump has the most transparent administration in history. President Trump is accessible to the American people more than his predecessor and his administration launches important information for the American people,” Kumler said.

“By investigating the newly released JFK files, consultant experts, and followed the remaining employees from various investigation committees, my business squad will reach the bottom of this puzzle and exchange the results we have reached with the American people,” Luna said.
