The files were released because the law stated they had to be released.


Classified JFK Files Will Be Released Next Week As Required by Law


Thousands of classified documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy will be released by the National Archives over the coming days, according to a tweet sent by President Trump on Saturday. The president said that he will “allow” the “long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened,” though he prefaced the statement by saying it was “subject to the receipt of further information.” The documents are legally required to be made public by October 26, but there have been reports that Trump would block the release of some of the files at the request of his national-security advisers. The resulting media coverage may have prompted Trump’s tweet on Saturday; whatever the reason, the president did not confirm that he would release all the files as required.

They reached the deadline unprepared and disorganized. Then they gave themselves an extension.

But if you like alternative facts, this tweet is on target.
