The order requires the director of national intelligence and attorney general to work with White House officials on a plan to release the John F. Kennedy records and present it to Trump within 15 days. A plan for releasing the other records must be presented to Trump within 45 days.
Trump's order lays out the saga over releasing John F. Kennedy's record. A law passed in 1992 required the records to be fully released by Oct. 26, 2017 unless the president at the time determines their release would cause "identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations... of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure."
Trump was president when the 2017 deadline arrived. He ordered the release of nearly 2,900 records, but kept others secret because of concerns by the CIA and FBI that their release could hurt national security.
