Nearly 60 years after President Kennedy was murdered in Dallas, the U.S. National Archives has released another trove of previously-classified documents with information about the assassination.
While some researchers and conspiracy theorists were hoping for glaring revelations, most of the information was no surprise.
Nearly 13,000 documents were included in Thursday's release, following other large disclosures in 2017, 218 and 2021.
Some historians have suggested the CIA had something to do with the JFK murder but nothing in Thursday's documents even hints at that.
There is some information about assassin Lee Oswald's phone call to the Soviet Union's embassy in Mexico City seven weeks before Kennedy was killed. Oswald claimed he had visited the embassy several days earlier. But nothing in the report about the call suggests the Soviets were working with Oswald to assassinate JFK.
The documents were released in response to a 1992 Congressional declaration that all "government records concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy... should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history surrounding the assassination."
