U.S. President Donald Trump says he does not plan to block the scheduled release of thousands of never-before-seen government documents related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Trump wrote in a tweet that "Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.''
The National Archives has until next Thursday to disclose the remaining files related to Kennedy's 1963 assassination.
Trump could have blocked their release on the grounds that making the material public would harm intelligence, law enforcement, military operations or foreign relations.
The documents include more than 3,000 the public has never seen and more than 30,000 that have been previously released, but with redactions.
