The claim
US President Donald Trump ordered the release of the John F. Kennedy assassination video.
Original review summary
The review says the viral video shows Trump signing an order to declassify assassination records, followed by footage of JFK’s assassination. It reports that the Zapruder Film had been publicly available online for decades before the order, so the video was not released as a result of it.[S1]
Additional context
Trump signed the executive order on 23 January 2025. The review describes it as mandating a two-step process: release JFK assassination records within 15 days, then review and release records on the other two assassinations within 45 days. [S1]
The review identifies a YouTube upload of the Zapruder Film dated 15 October 2013 as containing footage similar to the viral clip. [S1]
