JFK's grandson says there is 'nothing heroic' about Trump's declassification order

"Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he's not here to punch back," Schlossberg wrote. "There's nothing heroic about it."

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., son of the late senator and Trump's nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, told the press that the order was a "great move" on the president's part. He believes that the move will bring "more transparency" and it shows that Trump is "keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything." Kennedy has called for answers about his father and uncle's assassinations.

"I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue," Trump's order reads.

The order gives officials just over two weeks (15 days) to give Trump a plan for "the full and complete release of records" on the JFK assassination. Additionally, officials have 45 days to present a plan on files relating to RFK and MLK Jr.'s assassinations.

King's family reacted to the order in a statement, saying that they "hope to be provided the opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release."

While Trump promised to release the JFK files during his first administration, there is still an undisclosed amount of material that remains under wraps more than 60 years later.
