Trump administration live updates: Pentagon looks to cut up to 60,000 civilian jobs

Trump said Monday during a visit to the Kennedy Center that he will release all of the files related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy on Tuesday.

“But while we're here, I thought it would be appropriate. We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump told reporters after attending his first Kennedy Center board meeting after being elected chair by the board he installed.

Trump said there were 80,000 pages of documents and there would be no executive summary.

“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You've got a lot of reading,” he said.

Trump said the effort is being led by Tulsi Gabbard, his director of national intelligence, and that he didn’t think anything would be redacted.

“I said, ‘Just don't redact. You can't redact,’” he said, noting that he was fulfilling a campaign promise.

When asked if he’s seen the files, Trump said he has “heard about them.”

The Federal Aviation Administration is reinstating 132 FAA employees represented by the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists who were terminated as part of the mass layoffs across federal agencies, according to the union.

Those being reinstated include aeronautical information specialists who evaluated and prepared navigation maps, routes, charts, procedures and flight paths -- such as helicopter routes around Reagan National Airport and introduction of drones, the union said.

Reagan National was the site of a midair collision between a regional jetliner and an Army helicopter last month that killed all 67 people on the two aircraft.

Others returning to work include maintenance mechanics responsible for servicing air traffic control facilities, as well as environmental protection specialists and aviation safety assistants.

Employees will return to work March 20 and will receive back pay from February 15. the union said.

ABC News has reached out to the FAA and Department of Transportation for comment on the reinstatement.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the administration's defiance of a judge's order to turn around two flights containing hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members as she was peppered with questions during Monday's briefing.

"What do you say to Americans who want safe streets but are concerned due process is being violated?" one reporter asked.

"The president is using every lever of his executive authority and his constitutional authority within the bounds of the immigration laws of our country to ensure that our streets are safer for law-abiding American citizens," Leavitt responded.

When pressed for more details about the individuals deported and how they were determined for removal, Leavitt said that ICE and CBP were "sure about the identities of the individuals who were on these planes and the threat that they posed to our homeland."

On ignoring the judge's order over the weekend, Leavitt contended that the flights had already departed by the time the written ruling was handed down at 7:26 p.m. When asked about the judge's verbal order, which was given earlier than the written ruling, Leavitt repeated her statement and questioned the validity of verbal orders.
