Republican Senator Chuck Grassley says President Trump is making the right call in releasing the final classified papers from the investigation of J-F-K’s assassination. “Government over-classifies and after 50 years, it’s about time,” Grassley says. Thousands of documents about the November, 1963 assassination of President Kennedy have been kept in the National Archives. The papers will be released Thursday — unless some agency like the C-I-A can convince the president to keep the material secret. Grassley says “for the sake of history” he wants to see all the documents released — and he predicts the move would put a stop to all the “conspiracy theories” about J-F-K’s assassination.

“I don’t think there’s any arguments anymore, maybe they ended 20 years ago, but for sure the ‘single’ or the ‘double bullet’ argument — this ought to put an end to it,” Grassley said, “and take a little mystery out of government.” Earlier this month, Grassley introduced a resolution in congress urging President Trump to make a “full release” of the documents.
