On October 19, 2022, the Mary Ferrell Foundation, a non-profit archive with the internet's largest collection of searchable JFK records, filed a lawsuit against President Biden and the National Archives for failing to implement the 1992 JFK Records Act. These failures have resulted in confusion, gaps in the records, over-classification, and outright denial of thousands of assassination-related files, five years after the law's deadline for full disclosure.

Continued Withholding in Violation of the JFK Records Act

Over 14,000 records still feature "redactions" (blacked out text) - 16,283 if the National Archive's 6-part reference spreadsheet is to be believed. These all should have been fully declassified by October 26, 2017, absent a specific justification in each instance by the president of the United States. Instead, both President Trump and President Biden declassified some records while issuing blanket withholding declarations for the rest.

 

The JFK Records Act is precise on the process which should have been followed:

 

"Each assassination record shall be publicly disclosed in full, and available in the Collection no later than the date that is 25 years after the date of enactment of this Act, unless the President certifies, as required by this Act, that (i) continued postponement is made necessary by an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement or foreign relations; and (ii) the identifiable harm is of such gravity that it outweighs the publc interest in disclosure." (JFK Records Act, section 5(g)(2)(D)).
