    The FBI says it has found 2,400 new pages of documents about the
    assassination of John F. Kennedy following President Donald Trump’s
    decision to release the highly classified files.

    In a statement on Tuesday, the FBI said due to “technologic advances” of
    the bureau’s record keeping processes, a new search carried out in January
    this year following Trump’s executive order unearthed new records relating
    to Kennedy’s assassination.

    “The FBI conducted a new records search pursuant to President Trump's
    Executive Order issued on January 23, 2025, regarding the declassification
    of the assassination files of JFK, RFK, and MLK,” the bureau said. “The
    search resulted in approximately 2400 newly inventoried and digitized
    records that were previously unrecognized as related to the JFK
    assassination case file.”

    The bureau did not specify what the records contain but said it is working
    to transfer the documents to the National Archives and Records
    Administration to be included in the declassification process.

    Jefferson Morley, vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, a
    repository for files related to the assassination, called the FBI’s
    disclosure of the files “refreshingly candid.”

    “It shows that the FBI is serious about being transparent,” Morley, who is
    also editor of the JFK Facts blog, said.

    He said it sets a precedent for other agencies to come forward with
    documents that haven’t yet been turned over to the National Archives.

    But some of Kennedy’s family members have hit out at the decision. In
    January, Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy’s grandson, said that Trump was “no
    hero” for ordering the release of the files.

    “The truth is a lot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme,” Schlossberg, who often
    shared political and satirical commentary online before disabling his
    social media accounts this week, wrote on X.

    “Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to
    punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it,” the 32-year-old said.

    Trump’s order last month directed the national intelligence director and attorney general to develop a plan to release classified records related
    to Kennedy’s assassination.

    “A lot of people are waiting for this for a long time, for years, for
    decades,” Trump said at the time, before adding that “everything will be revealed” about the assassination.

    A George H.W. Bush-era law had required the release of all JFK
    assassination records in October 2017, and during Trump’s first term,
    numerous records were indeed declassified and made public, but many
    remained hidden for years after.

    The assassination has fueled conspiracy theories for decades. Kennedy was fatally shot in downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963, as his motorcade
    passed in front of the Texas School Book Depository building, where 24- year-old assassin Lee Harvey Oswald positioned himself from a sniper’s
    perch on the sixth floor. Two days after Kennedy was killed, nightclub
    owner Jack Ruby fatally shot Oswald during a jail transfer.

    The Warren Commission, established by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination, found that Oswald acted alone and that
    there was no evidence of a conspiracy. But that conclusion never quelled a
    web of alternative theories over the decades.

    Gerald Posner, author of Case Closed, which concludes that Oswald acted
    alone, said it’s possible that the newly discovered files are repeats of documents that are already in the National Archives’ collection or they
    could be documents the review board for the collection had previously said
    it didn’t want.

    “If they are really new assassination documents, then it raises a whole
    bunch of questions about how they were missed for all of these years,”
    Posner said.

    He said the “wow” would be if they are related to Oswald or the
    investigation.

    The documents released over the past several years from the collection
    have offered details on the way intelligence services operated at the
    time, and include CIA cables and memos discussing visits by Oswald to the Soviet and Cuban embassies during a trip to Mexico City just weeks before
    the assassination.

    The former Marine had previously defected to the Soviet Union before
    returning home to Texas.

    Morley said the CIA’s surveillance of Oswald has been the “emerging story
    over the last five to 10 years.” He said there could be information on
    that in the new files.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
    eradicated.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
    fiasco, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
