[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - More than 1,500 files were released by the National Archives at noon on Wednesday about JFK's assassination
- They include memos by CIA officers in the immediate aftermath of the shooting on November 23, 1963
- One details how Lee Harvey Oswald met with a KGB agent on September 29, 1963, in Mexico City
- The documents also included previously sealed files on Operation Mongoose, the CIA's plan to destabilize the Cuban government and remove Fidel Castro from power
- Unsealed files from the 1975 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities state that President Kennedy's brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was part of the secret National Security Council group overseeing Mongoose
- Not all of the files will be released; the NSA is holding some back pending further review
- The secrecy has fueled conspiracy theories about JFK's assassination
- The President was killed in 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in his motorcade in Dallas, Texas
- Oswald denied shooting JFK in his interviews with police; he was killed two days later while being transported by police by a nightclub owner who shot him
- Biden had promised to make the files public by October but he delayed, claiming COVID back logs stalled the release
