Donald Trump orders the declassification and release of all remaining files related to the assassination of former US President John F Kennedy. Trump’s executive order signed on Thursday also calls for the release of the last remaining records. Director of National Intelligence must present a plan within 15 days for the release of files related to JFK’s assassination. In a 2023 Gallup poll, 65 percent of Americans said they did not believe the Warren Commission’s finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president. Robert F Kennedy Jr, Trump’s nominee for health secretary and the son of Robert F. Kennedy, claimed there was “overwhelming” evidence of CIA involvement in his uncle’s killing In 1992, the US Congress passed a law mandating that outstanding files related to the JFK assassination be released within 25 years unless the president determined that the harm to national security outweighed the public interest in disclosure. In total, more than 99 percent of some 320,000 documents reviewed since the passage of the 1992 law have been released.

Wild guess here, but I have a feeling that if they find foul play from the CIA they might use it as an excuse to gut it / replace it with an agency more aligned with their views.
