History buffs, conspiracy theorists, and true crime fansโgrab your virtual magnifying glasses! ๐ต๏ธโ๏ธ The Trump administration just dropped a massive trove of formerly classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Over 63,000 pages hit the U.S. National Archives website this week, reigniting decades-old debates about one of America's most infamous unsolved mysteries.
What's Inside the Files? ๐๏ธ
The newly released papers include 2,200 files with details ranging from witness interviews to classified memos. While most of the 6-million-page collection was already public, these docs had been buried under redactions until now. "You've got a lot of reading," Trump quipped during a visit to the Kennedy Center, comparing the release to binge-watching a true-crime series.
Why Now? โณ
This move fulfills a 2017 executive order to declassify JFK-related records. Though the files donโt solve the Lee Harvey Oswald puzzle, theyโre like "Twitter threads from the Cold War era"โfull of cryptic clues. Will we finally learn the truth about those wild conspiracy theories? Maybe not, but armchair detectives are already swarming forums with hot takes. ๐ฅ
The Lingering Mystery ๐ต๏ธโ๏ธ
JFK's assassination in Dallas still fuels debates. Was Oswald a lone wolf? Why was he killed days later? These questions haunt pop culture (looking at you, X-Files fans! ๐ฝ). The fresh papers might not wrap this case up in a bow, but theyโre a time capsule for history nerds everywhere.
