According to Oliver Stone, President Donald Trump’s action of disclosing the final batch of highly classified documents concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy is commendable, yet he expressed some reservations as well.
The acclaimed director, famous for his 1991 movie “JFK” about Kennedy’s 1963 assassination, spoke out late Friday regarding Trump’s decision to disclose the last 3% of the approximately 5 million documents related to this topic that have been stored by the National Archives and Records Administration. Trump also plans to reveal the remaining files concerning the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The well-known director, best known for his movie “JFK“, commented on Trump’s plan to unveil some hidden documents about Kennedy’s 1963 murder last Friday. The President also wants to disclose the remaining files about the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which have been kept secret until now.
Stone commended President Trump for yesterday’s executive order making public the previously secret documents regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, an incident that took place 61 years ago, as he believed they should have been made available in October 2017. He also added that Trump deserves additional recognition for going beyond that and ordering the release of still-classified documents about the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy.
In essence, those documents might not contain a clear-cut piece of evidence saying “he did it,” but they could provide details that help paint a clearer picture or mosaic of the events that transpired in those cases.
Stone pointed out: “Congressmen Steve Cohen, David Schweikert, and Tim Burchett are advocating for this step. They propose the establishment of an oversight committee, similar to the [JFK Assassination Records Review Board], to ensure all documents have been fully disclosed without redaction. If these documents lead to other pertinent papers, the oversight committee should explore that path.
On Thursdays, as part of a pledge made during his campaign, President Trump instructed the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General to devise a strategy over the next two weeks for the disclosure of the still-secret JFK documents. In addition, they were asked to prepare a plan for the publication of RFK and MLK files within three weeks. The JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 mandated that all documents concerning the assassination be made public by 2017, but Trump has expressed his intention to withhold some of the remaining files, citing the need for continued secrecy.
On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot. Later investigations suggested that Lee Harvey Oswald, an ex-Marine with suspected communist ties, acted independently when he assassinated Kennedy using a rifle. This assertion has faced significant criticism and speculation over the subsequent decades.
