If he does or approves of anything, it is likely it is self serving, on the rare occasion it isnt, well...fine

(115,267 posts)"The 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act required that the millions of pages many of them contained in CIA and FBI documents be published in 25 years, by Oct. 26." https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trump-plans-to-release-of-jfk-assassination-documents-despite-concerns-from-federal-agencies/2017/10/21/d036cf36-b65d-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html?utm_term=.e0e577870156
But the point is that the records were set by law to be released on 10/16/17. All Trump has done is said he won't do anything to stop it.
