The White House knew that releasing the unredacted JFK assassination files would expose Social Security numbers. Donald Trump did it anyway.
The article from MSNBC's Maddow Blog discusses the significant error made by the Trump administration in the release of the JFK assassination files. In 2017, President Trump promised full transparency by ordering the release of all remaining classified documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. However, instead of a complete disclosure, the administration released a batch of documents with numerous redactions and withheld others, citing national security concerns. This decision was criticized for lacking transparency and for potentially withholding information that could shed light on historical events. The article highlights that this was seen as a major misstep, as it not only disappointed those seeking full disclosure but also fueled conspiracy theories by suggesting that the government still had something to hide. The process was described as chaotic, with last-minute decisions on what to release, leading to an incomplete and somewhat haphazard disclosure that did not meet the expectations set by Trump's initial promise.
