A new batch of government records about the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released Thursday evening,???.?????.????? but good luck reading them.
President Donald Trump announced the so-called JFK files would be released Thursday, but it took until the end of the day for the 2,891 files to publish on the National Archives site. Another 300 were kept classified for security reasons.

Thursday was the deadline to release documents related to the JFK files, according to a 1992 law, but Trump granted an extension to April 26, 2018 for the roughly 300 contested documents still under review. If a government official wants to keep a file secret, they'll have to submit their reasoning to the U.S. Archivist by March. Back in July, 3,810 documents were made public.

Don't worry, some of the records are typed out. But all this bad handwriting is sure to fuel upset conspiracy theorists looking for their smoking gun.
