National Archives on Tuesday released thousands of pages of declassified records related to the 1963 assassination of former President John F The initial release on Tuesday contained 1,123 records A subsequent release on Tuesday night contained 1,059 records President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that the release was coming though he estimated it at about 80,000 pages You've got a lot of reading," he said while visiting the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington The newly released documents include a memo that for decades helped fuel speculation that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was somehow involved in the killing of JFK was written by JFK's aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr It warned Kennedy that the CIA was encroaching on his ability to direct foreign policy no evidence was found in the memo that the CIA conspired with JFK's assassin several of the newly-released pages showed the CIA had been tapping telephones in Mexico City between December 1962 and January 1963 to monitor the communications of the Soviets and Cubans at their diplomatic facilities which Oswald visited in the months before the assassination said in an MSNBC interview that the memo and other documents are more evidence that Kennedy deeply mistrusted the CIA which had Oswald under surveillance long before Kennedy was killed had put Oswald under surveillance starting in November 1959 and was "monitoring his politics Angleton had a 180-page file "on Oswald on his desk a week before Kennedy went to Dallas" in November 1963 citing government documents that had been released earlier or was Angleton actually running an operation involving Oswald?" Morley said "We don't have the answer to that question because there are still some relevant records to come out one file of another CIA officer who was involved in the pre-assassination surveillance of Oswald is still kept secret nothing in the first documents examined undercut the conclusion that Oswald was the lone gunman Despite the lone-gunman conclusion by the commission on the assassination of Kennedy doubts and conspiracy theories have endured for decades eyewitness accounts and further investigations Many suspect shots came from multiple directions especially the grassy knoll in front of the motorcade which unexpectedly captured the assassination contradicting the commission's rear-shot narrative Some believe the CIA either orchestrated or failed to prevent the assassination due to tensions with Kennedy over the Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuba policy Senate committee in 1975 exposed CIA plots to assassinate Cuba's late leader Fidel Castro raising suspicions of retaliation or internal dissent A 1963 memo revealed in previous releases shows a CIA officer concerned about Oswald's activities in Mexico City where he visited Soviet and Cuban embassies weeks before the assassination Critics argue the CIA withheld this information from the commission possibly monitored or manipulated by the CIA suggest a broader conspiracy or negligence angered by former Attorney General Robert Kennedy's crackdown may have been involved in the assassination Some also suspect then Vice President Lyndon B who became president after Kennedy's death may have had a role in the assassination to seize power Tampered or missing evidence adds to the mystery Key items like Kennedy's brain (missing since the autopsy) and the "magic bullet" theory have long been suspected of being manipulated to support the lone-gunman conclusion The "magic bullet" is said to have caused multiple wounds to both Kennedy and John Connally who was also in the limousine during the assassination a former Secret Service agent stated that he found a bullet in the limousine Oswald's murky background and sudden death also leave his actual role unclear The JFK assassination files have been trickling out for years each release adding layers to the story but never entirely rewriting the official lone-gunman narrative they've painted a picture of bureaucratic bungling and persistent gaps in information Every batch of documents has zoomed in on Oswald's movements especially his time in Mexico City and the CIA's watch over him the 2017 and 2021 releases showed the CIA had tapped his calls and tracked his visits to Soviet and Cuban diplomats But these details pointed more to intelligence blunders and red tape than a grand conspiracy The CIA's reluctance to fully brief the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the commission keeps cropping up but hard proof of a second shooter or deeper agency involvement remains elusive provided more information about the CIA's wiretapping but didn't reveal any bombshells These lingering gaps keep conspiracy theories alive as people fill in the blanks has only fueled public curiosity and skepticism Historians mostly see the files supporting the official story with extra red tape about 99 percent of the roughly 320,000 documents are out there with the latest batch being the most complete yet But the JFK assassination remains a hot topic Angleton boys soccer players and coaches pose for a photo after Tuesday’s 2-0 Class 5A Division I regional final win over A&M Consolidated at Legacy Stadium in Katy The Wildcats are playing in the state semifinals for the first time Angleton’s boys soccer team has never been where it’s going Senior Ivan Rodriguez was the starting kicker on the Wildcats’ football team that made a run to the state semifinals last fall one game shy of playing at AT&T Stadium for a Class 5A Division I state championship Dennis Silva II covers sports for The Facts Angleton’s Brooklynn Walton slides home safely ahead of the throw to Friendswood catcher Charleigh Esparza during the second inning at Friendswood High School on Tuesday Friendswood’s Lola Blu Widner makes the throw to first base for the out on Angleton’s Alyssa Orozco during the third inning at Friendswood High School on Tuesday Longtime Friendswood softball coach Kevin Parr gets hugs from current and former players during a pre-game ceremony honoring his 30-year career as head and assistant coach at the school on Tuesday Angleton pitchers Kadeyn Patin and Bella Nava teamed for a combined shutout and the Ladycats found ways to score when they needed to in a 3-0 win over the hosting Lady Mustangs that clinched first place in district The Friendswood Lady Mustangs softball team found an unfortunate time to have an offensive dry spell; Tuesday night it cost them a District 20-5A championship it could bring an abrupt finish to their 2025 campaign “It’s not a good time to be in a slump; it’s not a good time to be playing bad softball,” said Friendswood head coach Jarrod Hunter who has seen his team score just one run during a now two-game losing skid Speed on the base paths helped Angleton score two runs in the top of the second inning Gracie Walker looped a single into shallow center field and then her courtesy runner Jori Bernier beat a throw to second base on a fielder’s choice grounder and Layla Rodriguez followed with another walk to force a runner home who reached on the fielder’s choice earlier made it home ahead of an attempted force-out throw at the plate on a fielder’s choice grounder to make the score 2-0 The Ladycats’ base running prowess again came into play in scoring a run in the top of the fourth when Walton hustled for a leadoff double was moved to third base on a sacrifice bunt and then scored on a wild pitch for the final tally Friendswood wasn’t without scoring opportunities getting a runner on the base paths with less than two outs in four separate innings The Lady Mustangs’ biggest scoring threat came in the bottom of the fifth when they left the bases loaded Madelyn Convery led off the bottom of the fifth with a walk and Chloe Aldrich’s one-out double lashed to left-center field put two runners in scoring position but a line-out to third base ended the inning we’re struggling to get that key hit,” Hunter said we’ve gotten key hits and the offense has been unbelievably potent Angleton’s starting pitcher Patin surrendered three hits and four walks with two strikeouts in her five shutout innings for the win in the circle Nava slammed the door on the game for the save by retiring the final six Lady Mustangs batter in order with four strikeouts Aldrich (2-for-4) and Ayleen Cervantes (2-for-3) had multi-hit games Friendswood (8-3 in District 20-5A) has one more regular season game to shake its hitting funk 6:30 p.m A win formally clinches the district’s Division II No “It’ll be nice to get out and score some runs — just get that excitement back and get in the win column and get a little bit of confidence before it’s time to head to the playoffs,” Hunter said James LaCombe: 409-683-5242, james.lacombe@galvnews.com or on Twitter @JamesAtGalvNews
