JFK Assassination Records - 2025 Documents Release

March 18, 2025 Release

In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released. 

The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with the President’s directive in support of Executive Order 14176

As of March 18, 2025, the records are available to access either online at this page or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. As the records continue to be digitized, they will be posted to this page.

In an effort to maximize transparency, these records were released without redactions and some of these records contain the personal identification information of living individuals. The National Archives and Records Administration and the Social Security Administration are working closely together to protect the individuals who may be affected from their information being exploited. NARA has begun the process of identifying and will be contacting individuals whose personal identification information are included in the records. However, those who believe they may be affected should contact the National Archives at jfkrecords@nara.gov.

Sections 10 and 11

Section 10 of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 addresses information under court seal or for grand jury secrecy, and section 11 of the Act addresses records with tax return information subject to section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRS) or deeded to the government from a private citizen.
