FBI Uncovers Over 2,000 Secret JFK Assassination Records After President Trump’s Declassification Order

The FBI has just ‘found’ around 2,400 secret JFK assassination records that were hidden away in storage and never even handed over to the Warren Commission.

On Friday, the White House was informed of the secret files.

It’s strange how these files were only uncovered due to President Trump’s recent Executive Order to declassify all records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy…

Here’s everything we know so far about these ‘newly-discovered’ JFK files:

Axios reported:

The FBI just discovered about 2,400 records tied to President Kennedy’s assassination that were never provided to a board tasked with reviewing and disclosing the documents, Axios has learned.

• The still-secret records are contained in 14,000 pages of documents the FBI found in a review triggered by President Trump‘s Jan. 23 executive order demanding the release of all JFK assassination records.

Why it matters: The discovery — 61 years after Kennedy was killed in Dallas — follows decades of government reluctance to release all documents related to the assassination, which fueled a mountain of conspiracy theories.

• The existence of the new documents was disclosed Friday to the White House, when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its plan to disclose the assassination records under Trump’s order.

Zoom in: The contents of the newly found records are closely held secrets. The three sources who relayed their existence to Axios said they hadn’t seen the documents.

• But the discovery of thousands of records on one of the most scrutinized events in U.S. history is likely to raise questions about the procedures for vetting and releasing information across the entire government.
• “This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” said Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination and vice president of the nonpartisan Mary Ferrell Foundation, the nation’s largest source of online records of Kennedy’s killing. He sued the U.S. government for more records.
• “The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going,” Morley said.

The New York Post added more details:

The FBI has uncovered 2,400 new records about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination following President Trump’s order to release the secret files, according to reports.

Those documents contain about 14,000 pages worth of material that a disclosure board was supposed to review but never saw, Axios reported Monday.

The White House learned about the never-before-reviewed documents on Friday as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence presented its plan to disclose the remaining documents.

“This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” said Jefferson Morley, the vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, which has the largest online record of JFK assassination records.

“The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going,” he added.

Exactly what is in the newly discovered documents remains secret at least for now.

Trump ordered the release of all files from Kennedy’s 1963 assassination — which has been mired in decades-long conspiracy theories.

But experts have cautioned that the final release of documents is unlikely to reveal whether the official story – that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy – is true, or that conspiracy theories suggesting he was aided by shadowy government or criminal entities have any merit.

So, the question is: what is in those files that haven’t been seen in 61 years?

Why weren’t they originally given to the Warren Commission?

The mind boggles…

And, I also have to wonder: how many other ‘lost files’ are potentially out there?..
