JFK: Will Donald Trump allow release of secret John F Kennedy assassination papers?

The anticipated release of thousands of never-seen government documents related to United States president John F Kennedy's assassination has scholars and armchair detectives buzzing.
Now, they are waiting to see whether President Donald Trump will block the release of files that could shed light on a tragedy that has stirred conspiracy theories for decades.
US Congress mandated in 1992 that all assassination documents be released within 25 years, unless the president asserted doing so would harm intelligence, law enforcement, military operations or foreign relations.
The still-secret documents include more than 3,000 that have never been seen by the public and more than 30,000 that have been released previously, but with redactions.
Key points:
- The trove may provide insight into assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to the Soviet and Cuban embassies in just weeks before the killing
- Files unlikely to provide big revelations, but may give new perspectives, experts say
- Congress in 1992 decided the files should be released within 25 years, subject to the president's veto
The National Archives now has until October 26 to disclose the remaining files related to Kennedy's 1963 assassination — that is, unless Mr Trump intervenes.
It is time for the documents to finally be revealed, says Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Centre for Politics and author of a book about Kennedy.
"It's long past the time to be forthcoming with this information."
Mr Sabato and other JFK scholars believe the trove of files may provide insight into assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico City weeks before the killing, during which he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies.
Oswald's stated reason for going was to get visas that would allow him to enter Cuba and the Soviet Union, according to the Warren Commission, the investigative body established by president Lyndon B Johnson, but much about the trip remains unknown.
Among the protected information up for release is details about the arrangements the US entered into with the Mexican Government that allowed it to have close surveillance of those and other embassies, Federal Judge John Tunheim said.
Kennedy experts also hope to see the full report on Oswald's trip to Mexico City from staffers of the House committee that investigated the assassination, Rex Bradford, president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation which publishes assassination records, said.
Judge Tunheim said it was unlikely the documents contained any big revelations about Kennedy's killing, but there may be nuggets of information in the files that people did not realise was important two decades ago.
The White House did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment, and the CIA and FBI, whose records make up the bulk of the batch, will not say whether they have appealed to the President to keep them under wraps.
