After President Donald Trump ordered the release of the remaining “JFK files” — long-classified documents related to the investigation of John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination — the government published about 80,000 pages of information on Tuesday, March 18.

While the documents are available to be viewed in person or on analog media formats at the National Archives at College Park, Md., not all were immediately available online. The National Archives plans to release them on its website as they are digitized.

The full release of the JFK files was repeatedly delayed — it was teased during Trump’s first presidency, then former President Joe Biden took limited action by releasing some but not all of the remaining papers.

Trump has also ordered for the unsealing of documents about the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

JFK was fatally shot during a presidential motorcade in Dallas in November 1963. King was fatally shot on a hotel balcony in Memphis in April 1968, and two months later, the former president’s brother RFK was shot and killed in June 1968, just after winning the Democratic primary in California.

The three assassinations — all within five years of each other — rocked the country and characterized a tense decade of politics, though many historians and insiders have expressed skepticism that unsealing the remaining files will reveal anything new.

On Jan. 19, the day before his second inauguration, Trump promised to release all files related to the three assassinations. After he was sworn-in, Trump signed an executive order to have the files made public.

“As the first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents,” he said at his Victory Rally in Washington, D.C.

The delays since Trump first promised to unseal them in 2017 were largely attributed to government agencies needing more time to review and research the content of the files “to maximize the amount of information released,” according to David Ferriero, the former Archivist of the United States.

RFK’s son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who has peddled conspiracy theories about his uncle JFK’s death and now serves as Trump’s secretary of health and human services — shared his frustration with PEOPLE in 2021 that the documents were still being stored away.

“They should just release the records. It’s been 58 years. Are they trying to seriously tell us they haven’t had time to read them? … And the White House is saying they haven’t had time to read them in three generations,” RFK Jr. told PEOPLE at the time.

He added, “It just makes people think that government lies, and it makes Joe Biden look like a liar. He’s doing the same thing Trump did: He promised to release them and now he’s saying no, the same as Trump.”

In January, JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, warned those who believe in JFK assassination conspiracies that they would be disappointed by Trump’s final file release, slamming it as a political stunt.

“The truth is [a lot] sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,” Schlossberg wrote on social media. “Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.”

He added, “Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it.”
