La dizaine de milliers de documents déclassifiés et jusque-là réservés à la commission Warren, créée dans les jous qui suivent pour enquêter sur les circonstances de l'assassinat du président Kennedy, et qui avait conclu en 1964 à la culpabilité de Lee Harvey Oswald, va-t-elle mettre à mal ces théories ? Après quatre mois à la Nouvelle-Orléans, il se rend au Mexique. JFK documents: what we have learned so far.

FBI warned Dallas police of threat to kill Oswald The FBI warned Dallas police of a death threat to Lee Harvey Oswald, according to a memo by director J Edgar Hoover, but the police failed to protect him. “Last night we received a call in our Dallas office from a man talking in a calm voice and saying he was a member of a committee organized to kill Oswald,” Hoover wrote on 24 November 1963. “We at once notified the chief of police and he assured us Oswald would be given sufficient protection. “However, this was not done.” Read the document.

Trump's tweet comes as he is staring down an October 26 deadline set in law by Congress mandating the public release of the still-secret documents -- including FBI and CIA files -- barring any action by the President to block the release of certain documents. "Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened," Trump said, appearing to leave open the possibility that some documents could still be withheld.

"Oswald did it alone," Posner continued. Trump releases some, but not all, JFK records - CNNPolitics. The US government released over 2,800 records Thursday night in an effort to comply with a 1992 law mandating the documents' release, but kept roughly 300 files classified out of concern for US national security, law enforcement and foreign relations.

An initial review of some of the previously classified documents shed some light on the circumstances surrounding the Kennedy assassination.
