WASHINGTON - United States President Donald Trump to block a number of files of the murder of John F. Kennedy (JFK) for national security reasons. Trump said documents detailing government investigations into JFK killings could be kept secret for years.

Based on Trump's directions, the US National Archives continues to release a number of documents describing Uncle Sam's government's activities around the death of JFK in 1963. Over 19,000 documentation has been published, but a number of other pieces will remain hidden.

"Further blocking is needed to protect the identified hazards that can threaten national security, law enforcement, or foreign affairs so severe that it exceeds the public interest in direct disclosure," Trump said in a memo quoted as saying by the Independent on Friday (4/27/2018). ).

While the remaining documents are set to be disclosed in October 2021. The national security agency can still continue to delay its release.

Thousands of documents released so far have not included any crucial data about JFK's death in Dallas, Texas. But they provide an overview of the portrait of an era of extensive investigation of JFK's death and communist alliance efforts as well as surveillance of suspects.

A document in the latest data set tells activists associated with black and anti-war movements were included in the government's oversight list in 1967.

Other papers have illuminated the government's joint efforts to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro, including by handing off poison pens to assets in Cuba on the day Kennedy died.
