The U.S. government on Tuesday released previously classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
President Donald Trump announced the release of some 80,000 pages of new material, much of which has yet to be digitized and uploaded to the internet.
The assassination documents add to the more than six million pages of records and media that the National Archives maintains related to JFK's death.
To understand what we could learn from Tuesday's new releases, Scripps News spoke with Jefferson Morley, co-founder and author of JFK Facts, a journalistic newsletter and podcast dedicated to reporting on the JFK assassination.
"What we've learned in the last 20 years — all of it undermines the official story that one man killed the president for no reason," Morley said. "That theory is no longer tenable. It's not factually supported. The doctors in Dallas who tried to save Kennedy's life agreed he had been shot from two different directions. The CIA knew far more about Lee Harvey Oswald than they ever told any investigation."
