Check out what The New York Post reported:
President Trump said Monday that he’s set to release 80,000 files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Tuesday — a trove that will be pored over by history buffs and conspiracy theorists.
Trump, 78, made the remark while standing in front of a large bust of his predecessor inside the Kennedy Center, a performing arts facility along the Potomac River that the current president now chairs.
“While we’re here, I thought it would be appropriate there tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said.
“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything.”
Trump added: “They’ve been waiting for that for decades. And I said during the campaign I’d release them and I’m a man of my word so tomorrow you have the JFK files.”
