During his first term, Trump was the one who stopped all the records from being released automatically. This is his MO, to claim as victory something that would have happened without him opening his mouth in the first place.

This might make sense if the MLK and RFK assassinations weren't also being disclosed, and that without any act of congress.

I don’t get the downvotes; this is factually true. We don’t know what Pompeo told Trump in 2017, when the records would automatically release the remaining 3,648 by law, yet Trump blocked. Biden released 2,672 of those. Unless he finds a secret stash, Trump can’t beat those numbers now.

He was asked about this by Joe Rogan, his response at there is some concern that some of the people involved was still alive, but now he feels that doesn’t override the need of the families and American people to know.

This post is not political whether you believe or do not believe Trump is up to you.
