President Trump’s decision to sign an executive order that allows classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy to be released triggered criticism from Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson.

Trump believes that the public deserves to know the whole truth surrounding the assassination of the former president, as well as the details surrounding the execution of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F Kennedy.

The executive order signed by President Trump states: “More 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.”

It continued: “Their 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.”

Signing the order, Trump turned to the reporters and said, “Everything will be revealed.”

The assassinations of President John F Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. were carried out by lone gunman, and the fact that records with details of the killings remained classified for many years triggered a number of conspiracy theories.

“Lot of people are waiting for this for a long, long time, for years, for decades, and everything will be revealed,” Trump said.

As some applauded Trump’s decision, Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, opposed it.
“JFK conspiracy theories — The truth is a lot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.

“Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it,” he posted on X.

A number of people commented on the post, asking if Schlossberg has actually seen the files, to what he replied, “I know everything d***.”

“Imagine not wanting to know how your grandfather died… how weird,” someone wrote.

The son of late Senator Robert F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy Jr., whom Trump nominated as secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, told NBC News, “I’m very grateful to President Trump.”

“I think it’s a great move, because they need to have more transparency in our government, and he’s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything,” Kennedy Jr. said.

President Kennedy was killed on Nov. 22, 1963, after being shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. His brother was assassinated five years later. At the time, he represented New York in the U.S. Senate.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot on April 4, 1968 while standing on a balcony of a motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

President Trump believes that the release of the files is “long overdue.”
