Will release of JFK assassination documents finally end conspiracy theories?

President Donald Trump is ordering the release of documents related to three of the biggest assassinations in U.S. history.On Thursday, Trump ordered all unreleased documents from the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to be made public.Tom Samoluk, who serves on the Board of Directors of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, knows what is written in the John F. Kennedy documents, long locked away from the American public. He reviewed them all in the 1990s as the deputy director of the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board.”The records will not reveal any smoking gun,” Samoluk said. “There will be some puzzle pieces that will be put back in that will tell a more robust and rich story.”Trump’s order to release the record promised to open the curtain on one of the darkest, most painful chapters in American history, the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the assassination of his brother Robert F. Kennedy as well as Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.The decades-long secrecy surrounding the investigations has spawned vast conspiracy theories, but Boston University presidential historian Tom Whalen does not expect any revelations that will put many of them to rest.”I don’t think we should get our hopes too high here,” Whalen said. “I doubt this is going to definitively prove whether or not there was a conspiracy to kill the president.”Many historians argue it is time to finally lift the veil, but Samoluk said some mysteries surrounding the assassinations may linger forever.”Do I know what happened? I don’t,” Samoluk said. “I think the realities where everyone will be convinced that they know what happened has been lost to history.”It is expected to be revealed in the next few weeks when all the documents will be released.
