Finally fulfilling a promise from his first term, President Donald Trump's administration recently released a plethora of declassified and previously secret government files about the 1963 assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.

The files didn't really contain anything new, nor did they quell the many conspiracy theorists who don't believe the official narrative that JFK was killed by a lone gunman, which may include Trump himself, according to the Washington Examiner.

The president appeared to indicate over the weekend that he was open to the possibility that JFK's suspected assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was perhaps "helped" by some other individual(s) or entity in carrying out that high-profile murder.

Trump wonders if Oswald was "helped" in JFK assassination

On Friday, President Trump sat for an interview on board Air Force One with OutKick's Clay Travis, and the recent release of tens of thousands of additional documents from the long-secret JFK Files came up during the discussion.

Asked if he believed the official narrative that Oswald killed Kennedy, Trump replied, "I do. And I always felt that, but, of course, was he helped?"

Of the recent anti-climactic release of roughly 88,000 additional declassified documents, the president noted, "I think the papers have turned out to be somewhat unspectacular. And maybe that's a good thing."

Trump's own assassination attempts

According to OutKick, the conversation then shifted to the two public assassination attempts against President Trump last year when Travis asked if Trump believed the deceased gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who shot him at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, had acted alone.

"I really can't be sure," Trump said. "Because it bothers me that he had three apps (on his phone), and two of them were foreign, and maybe it was more apps. And it bothered me that the other guy [Ryan Routh, who tried to ambush Trump at his Palm Beach golf course] had like, 18 phones. I thought it was six, but it was 18."

"And the FBI has been very straight with me, I believe. I think they weren't at the beginning, but now I think they were. They told me a lot about the case," he added. "I think maybe it won't be able to be determined, but I don't believe it's, you know, it'd be something sinister by the FBI, the FBI is doing a good job, and [FBI Director] Kash [Patel] is going to do a great job."

Conspiracy theories continue to circulate

According to the New York Post, Oswald adamantly proclaimed his innocence during the brief time that he was in police custody following the assassination of JFK but before he himself was infamously gunned down at point-blank range by mob-connected nightclub owner Jack Ruby during a prisoner transfer.

Despite multiple official investigations over the intervening decades and the current release of tens of thousands of declassified documents, several conspiracy theories about who may have encouraged or "helped" Oswald kill the president have continued to circulate.

Some of the suspected alleged conspirators who may have played a role in assassinating the famously anti-communist and anti-organized crime Democratic president include the former Soviet Union's KGB, the communist Castro regime in Cuba, and the Italian-American mafia.

Did the CIA help kill JFK?

Another, perhaps darker, theory about JFK's murder involves the U.S. government itself -- the CIA, to be specific -- after Kennedy allegedly began working on an effort to rein in and get rid of the secretive spy agency.

There were some tantalizing tidbits of information in the recently released JFK Files that some believe strongly suggest the CIA's involvement in the assassination, but nothing concrete, and it seems likely that the nation will never know with any real certainty whether Oswald acted alone or was "helped."
