The US government declassifies thousands of documents on the Kennedy assassination

Last weekend, December 15, the United States National Archives released a total of 13,173 documents related to the assassination of former President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, after President Joe Biden issued an executive order, adding to the nearly 1,500 files released last year, most related to Harvey Lee Oswald, who was the main suspect in the former president’s assassination.
