US president Donald Trump says files related to the 1963 assassination of president John F Kennedy will be released without any redactions, making good on a promise he made during his campaign.

Mr Trump told reporters on Monday that his administration will be releasing 80,000 files on Tuesday, though it is not clear how many of those are among the millions of pages of records that have already been made public.
