Today the federal government released nearly 1,500 secret documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, leaving more than 10,000 files partially redacted or withheld.

The documents release today contain information given to the Warren Commission, information related to the Soviet Union and its agents in the United States, and personal documents from the family of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man fingered by the government as the lone gunman.

The release of the documents was mandated by Congress in 1992, however, the legislation included a provision that would allow the documents to continue to be withheld for years if the federal government should declare that the documents' release could cause "identifiable harm."

In fact, the Biden administration used this provision in October of this year.

As National File reported at the time, the Biden administration claimed that the national archivist needed more time to review the documents, and blamed COVID-19.

President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on Friday, November 22. Since the time of his death, many Americans have maintained that the official narrative regarding the 35th President's assassination is false.
