DONALD Trump can open the classified government files on the assassination of President John F Kennedy, two experts on the case have claimed.
The president-elect has long promised he would reveal the remaining secret files on the murder of the iconic statesman in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

He made a similar pledge during his first term, but ultimately kept some documents withheld, at the resquest of the CIA and the FBI.
J Gary Shaw and Brain Edwards, authors of the new book Admitted Assassin, told The U.S. Sun they believe that Trump can open the files and keep his campaign promise.
“I think that he will do his best to do it, but the problem is, they’ve had 61 years to do what they want to with those documents,” said Shaw, who went to school with the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man the official records say shot Kennedy.
“There will not be one shred of evidence that will give us an
indication as to who really killed John Kennedy.
“I hope Trump follows through with his campaign promise,” added Edwards, a former cop. “I would look forward to seeing whatever they release.
“But exactly what Gary said, there’s nothing on a piece of paper that says so-and-so was here, and they did this.
“That’s the kind of thing you don’t write down.”
However, both have faith we will one day uncover the truth about JFK’s assassination.
“I think there are still people alive that have information about what happened,” Shaw said.
“Some of them don’t even know they have it, but the kids are talking, and the grandkids of these people are talking, and that’s going to shed further light on it.”
Edwards added, “I think the movement, if you want to call it that, has gained enough speed now.
“We’re not the aluminum foil hat-wearing people. I think people are less reluctant to talk about it now.”
In their latest book about the Kennedy assassination, the pair named the killer as Roscoe White, a former US Marine.
He and Oswald traveled to the Far East together as part of the Marine Corps on the same ship.
For three months, they were in the same area, and the pair have a photograph of Oswald and Roscoe together.
When they returned to the US, Roscoe went to work for the Dallas Police Department in October 1963, a month before the assassination.
At the same time, Oswald got a job at the Texas Schoolbook Depository, from where the fatal shots that killed Kennedy are believed to have been fired.
I hope Trump follows through with his campaign promise.

Roscoe was friends with Jack Ruby, and his wife went to work for her.
He left the police force and worked for a company called M&M Equipment.
In 1971, Roscoe died in an industrial fire, in mysterious circumstances.
Shaw was approached first by Roscoe’s son Ricky White in 1989.
He told Shaw he believed his father had killed Kennedy.
“I believed the story, and we began to work on it at a press conference,” Shaw said.
“But the poor boy was crucified by the press for telling the story, and yet he’s just an old country boy who doesn’t know how to lie.
“Eventually, we got the artifacts that are in the book, the orders for him to kill the president, and then to follow up on killing some witnesses that were troublesome to the case.”

Shaw has photographs of Oswald, Ruby, and White together.
As a police officer, Shaw says Roscoe had the perfect cover to assassinate the president.
“It was a far better suspect than Lee Harvey Oswald, that’s for sure,” he said.
Their book includes sections of Roscoe’s scrapbook, including codes and cryptography.
The pair hope that by putting it out there, readers will be able to help solve the mystery of the scrapbook.
NEW PHOTO
The book contains a photograph of a mystery woman found in Roscoe’s scrapbook.
The identity of the person in the photograph has long been a source of speculation, but Shaw and Edwards believe they have solved it.
They say it shows Doris Duke, a glamorous billionaire tobacco heiress.
She had married a Dominican playboy called Porfirio Rubirosa.
Two years after the assassination, Rubirosa died in a mystery car collision.
Shaw says Rubirosa was also meeting with Sam Giancana, a senior mafia boss.
Although they are clear who killed Kennedy, Edwards stresses that they don’t know who gave the orders.
“Roscoe White was acting on orders from high above him,” he said.
“He was a soldier. He was doing as he was told. He thought he was doing it as a patriotic event.
“And then when he realized what he had done, he had remorse. And he told his minister, ‘I’ve killed people on foreign and domestic soil. I don’t know why I did this anymore. I thought I was doing the right
thing.’
“And I think that got him killed.”
