US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he would be releasing all documents into the assassination of John F Kennedy, in order "to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest.
"I will be releasing all JFK files other than the names and addresses of any mentioned person who is still living," Trump said in a tweet.
The President said that he has consulted White House chief of staff John Kelly, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other federal agencies.
"I am doing this for reasons of full disclosure, transparency and in order to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest," he added.
Trump tweeted earlier on Friday that he hoped "just about everything" concerning the 1963 assassination of the former President would be released to the public.
The Trump administration released about 2,800 files late Thursday.
Congress had ordered in 1992 that all remaining sealed files pertaining to the investigation into Kennedy's death should be fully opened to the public through the National Archives in 25 years, by Oct. 26, 2017, except for those the president authorized for further withholding.
More than 2,800 uncensored documents were posted immediately to the National Archives website on Thursday evening - a staggering, disparate cache that news outlets began poring through seeking new insights into a tragedy that has been endlessly dissected for decades by investigators, scholars and conspiracy theorists.
The rest will be released 'on a rolling basis,' with 'redactions in only the rarest of circumstances,' by the end of the review on April 26, 2018, the White House said in a statement.
