Biden releases 1,500 documents on the Kennedy assassination
The National Archives on December 15 released nearly 1,500 previously secret government documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, in line with a deadline set by President Joe Biden in October. Trump actually promised to release ALL the documents, but Biden cut the target.
The 1,491 documents were distributed in accordance with a federal statute requiring the government to release the documents in its possession relating to the Kennedy assassination. They include secret CIA cables, internal memos, and other documents related to Kennedy's assassination in Dallas on November 22, 1963, for which gunman Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested. Oswald later died when he was shot about two days later, killed by nightclub owner and alleged Mafia associate Jack Ruby.
Many of the files shed light on Oswald's visits to the Soviet and Cuban embassies and mention tensions between the US and Cuba and a statement by leader Fidel Castro about possible threats to US leaders " if they helped in any attempt to eliminate the leaders of Cuba . "
The documents also include discussion, in the days following the assassination, of Cuba's potential involvement in Kennedy's killing.
A CIA document marked "Secret" states that one individual Kennedy's killer spoke to was the consul of the Soviet embassy, who had ties to the KGB's "assassination department". The couple discussed the hitman's efforts to obtain a visa to visit the Soviet Union, according to documents.
On October 3, 1963, more than a month before the assassination, Oswald returned to the United States via a crossing on the border with Texas.
Another document details what are said to have been CIA plots to assassinate Castro, including a 1960 scheme "involving the use of the criminal underworld with contacts inside Cuba."
A report was also made public that Australians in 1962 had received a tip from a man who claimed there was a plot to kill Kennedy. The man claimed to be a driver for Soviet diplomats. An investigation followed, but officials concluded the lead was not credible.
In short, there are even more mysteries surrounding a crime that took place 60 years ago …
