There’s always the possibility that something would slip through that would be the tiny tip of a much larger iceberg that would be revealing,” said Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

Congress passed a law in 1992 requiring the documents surrounding President Kennedy's assassination to be released by 2017. Though, the release has been held up by national security concerns.

President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday he would release classified documents in the coming days related to the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

US President Donald Trump ordered the declassification Thursday of the last secret files on the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, a case that still fuels conspiracy theories more than 60 years after his death.

On his fourth day in office as president, Donald Trump ordered records on the assassinations of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy declassified.

Trump had made a similar promise during his 2017 to 2021 term, and he did release some documents related to JFK's 1963 murder. However, he later kept a significant chunk of documents under wraps, citing national security concerns following pressure from CIA and FBI.

America has waited decades for the full release of documents relating to the killings of JFK, RFK and MLK. That wait may soon be over.
