New JFK Assassination Documents Delve Into Oswald's Trip To Mexico, Plans To Flee Enlarge this image toggle caption Jon Elswick/AP Jon Elswick/AP The National Archives released 553 new documents Friday related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. "Documents released Friday show officials questioned whether Oswald had been trying to get visas from the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City in order to 'make a quick escape after assassinating the president,'" the AP reports. Sponsor Message Previous documents in the release showed that FBI Director J.Edgar Hoover worried about convincing "the public that Oswald is the real assassin" after he was shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby while in police custody two days after assassinating Kennedy. As the National Archives noted Friday, President Trump "ordered all remaining records governed by section 5 of the JFK Act be released to the public" after some agencies had requested certain redactions.
