TRUMP’S JFK FILES ORDER UNCOVERS THOUSANDS OF NEW DOCUMENTS – around 3,600 documents remain partially redacted and have yet to be fully disclosed
Donald Trump’s push to release classified files related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination has already uncovered nearly 2,400 new documents, potentially shedding new light on the 1963 shooting.
In one of his first major actions after returning to the White House, Trump signed an executive order in late January authorizing the full release of the remaining classified records. On Friday, the FBI notified the White House that it had discovered approximately 14,000 additional pages while reviewing secret files in response to the order.
Experts see the discovery as a step toward greater transparency, while Trump insiders worry it could be a delay tactic. The revelation came after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its disclosure plan to the administration.
The files could contain explosive details, including surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald, records on a Cuban hitman, and JFK’s alleged plans to dismantle the CIA.
Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas as his motorcade passed the Texas School Book Depository. Oswald, accused of firing from the sixth floor, was killed two days later. The Warren Commission concluded he acted alone, but conspiracy theories persist.
A trove of over 5 million government records was mandated for release by 2017, barring presidential exemptions. However, around 3,600 documents remain partially redacted and have yet to be fully disclosed.
