The FBI has discovered thousands of records that were never submitted to a review board overseeing the release of documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Axios reported that 2,400 records tied to the assassination were discovered by officials after President Donald Trump ordered that all records be released.
The records were supposed to have been transferred to the JFK Assassination Records Review Board and the National Archives in compliance with the 1992 JFK Records Act.
The still classified records are among 14,000 pages of documents that were uncovered during the review that was ordered by Trump.
“This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” said Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination. “The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going.”
Various U.S. intelligence agencies were requesting that some redactions be made to the records to protect sources and methods.
White House staffers that spoke with the publication said that Trump would “hit the roof” if there were any attempts to prevent the disclosure of the records.
When more JFK files were made public in 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration said 97% of the roughly 5 million pages were public, but around 3,000 documents remained classified and another 30,000 had redactions, CBS News reported last month. Trump has promised since his first term in office to make all of the files public. Questions have swirled for decades around President Kennedy’s assassination, which occurred in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.
“A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades,” Trump said as he signed an executive order forcing the release of the JFK files. “And everything will be revealed.”
