Kennedy assassination: files to become public
US President-elect Donald Trump wants to make documents "on topics of great public interest" accessible. These include files still kept under lock and key on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and civil rights activist Martin Luther King in 1968.

In the case of Kennedy, the majority of the approximately five million documents, photos, videos, audio recordings and artifacts relating to the assassination have been fully accessible since the late 1990s.
In 2017, some of the documents that had previously been kept secret were made public. However, at the instigation of the US foreign intelligence service CIA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), then President Trump decided to keep some files under lock and key. The authorities had previously expressed security concerns.
99 percent already accessible
Trump's successor Biden then had thousands more documents relating to Kennedy's assassination published. According to US media reports, 99 percent are already publicly accessible. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1962 in Dallas with several gunshots. Investigations revealed that the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, who later killed himself, acted alone.
A number of conspiracy theories have persisted over the years, including the theory that Cuba's government was involved or that Kennedy's successor Lyndon B. Johnson pulled the strings in conjunction with the CIA.
