DALLAS — A nonprofit is suing the Biden administration for the release of all records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The Mary Farrell Foundation on Oct. 19 sued President Joe Biden and the National Archives for failing to implement the JFK Records Act.
The lawsuit claims the documents should have been released in 2017, but weren’t, and there are unnecessary redactions that violate the JFK Records Act. It also claims there are various problems with the National Archives' “central directory of identification aids”
The lawsuit claims the delay has resulted in confusion, gaps in the records, over-classification and outright denial of thousands of assassination-related files.
Congress signed the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, requiring the documents be made public by Oct. 26, 2017, but President Donald Trump delayed the release and passed the responsibility on to Biden.
Biden continued to delay the release for a year, but the National Archives is set to release more documents from the JFK Collection on Dec. 15.
Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, 1963, in an open motorcade at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
