FBI Finds 2,400 JFK-Related Records

The FBI has discovered approximately 2,400 previously unrecognized records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, following an executive order by President Donald Trump to declassify all remaining documents associated with the assassinations of JFK, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. This search was facilitated by the FBI's Central Records Complex, which has improved the bureau's ability to inventory and digitize records. While the content of these newly discovered records remains undisclosed, the documents are set to be transferred to the National Archives for the ongoing declassification process. The discovery has reignited public interest and conspiracy theories regarding JFK's assassination, as some believe the files may contain information about CIA involvement or other undisclosed details. Trump's order reflects a continuation of efforts to release these records fully, following partial releases in previous years that were met with resistance from intelligence agencies due to national security concerns.
