Some of America's greatest mysteries are about to be made public. President Donald Trump has ordered officials to make plans to declassify documents related to the three most notorious assassinations in US history: those of John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. The executive order says the Kennedy and King families, as well as the American people, deserve transparency and the truth. "It is in the national interest to release all documents without delay," the order reads.
However, much of the information in the John F Kennedy assassination file has already been made public. The executive order requires national security advisers to submit a plan to the president for the full declassification of the documents within 15 days.
"There are a lot of people who have been waiting for this for years, maybe decades," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House, adding that everything will be made public. Former US president John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. His brother, Robert F Kennedy, was killed during the presidential race in California in 1968, just two months after Martin Luther King, America's most famous civil rights leader, was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.
Former President Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, a Navy veteran who defected to the Soviet Union and later returned to the U.S. However, there have been many questions and alternative theories about the involvement of government agents, the mafia, and other notorious figures. (A2 Televizion)
