Declassified JFK Files: What They Reveal and What They Don’t

Declassified JFK Files: What They Reveal and What They Don’t The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 has been one of the most debated events in American history. People love a good mystery, and this one has it all—conspiracy theories, secret documents, and, let’s be honest, a ton of drama. So, when the government started declassifying JFK files, the world thought, "Finally, some answers!" Spoiler alert: we got some answers, but also a whole lot of new questions. What Are the JFK Files? The JFK files are thousands of documents related to the assassination, including FBI memos, CIA reports, and, I imagine, a sticky note somewhere that says, "Let’s not talk about this." These files were kept under wraps for decades, partly due to national security concerns and partly because, let’s face it, governments love keeping secrets.
