FBI Uncovers Thousands of Hidden JFK Assassination Records Following Trump's Executive Order

The FBI has discovered approximately 2,400 previously unknown files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, following an executive order from former President Donald Trump. The documents, which remain classified, surfaced as part of a review of 14,000 pages of FBI records prompted by Trump’s directive in January, according to Axios.  

 

The revelation comes 61 years after Kennedy was shot in Dallas, a case that has fueled decades of speculation and conspiracy theories. Many federal agencies have resisted the full disclosure of records linked to the assassination, furthering suspicions about the events of November 22, 1963. Trump’s order demanded the release of all JFK-related records, as well as those connected to the assassinations of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, in 1968, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.  

 

 

The decision has reignited enthusiasm among conspiracy theorists and historians who have long questioned the official narrative. Many believe that U.S. intelligence agencies played a role in the three assassinations and reject the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Over the years, former members of the Chicago mafia have claimed they were hired by the CIA to eliminate Kennedy, and some of the newly discovered files may be linked to those confessions.  

 

A 2023 poll conducted ahead of the 60th anniversary of JFK’s assassination found that two-thirds of Americans do not believe Oswald was the lone gunman. Adding to the controversy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the late president’s nephew and a nominee for a cabinet position in Trump’s administration, has publicly accused the CIA of orchestrating his uncle’s murder.  

 

The discovery of these documents was first disclosed to the White House when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its plan to release the remaining JFK files. Trump’s order required a proposal for publication to be presented to the president by March 9. “This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” Jefferson Morley, a JFK assassination expert at the Mary Ferrell Foundation, told Axios. “The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going.”  

 

According to the 1992 JFK Records Act, all assassination-related documents were supposed to be turned over to a review board and then transferred to the National Archives. However, the FBI, CIA, and other agencies have repeatedly delayed full disclosure under multiple administrations. During his first term, Trump postponed the release of certain records based on recommendations from the CIA. His successor, Joe Biden, later authorized a partial release of JFK files, which led to legal action from the Mary Ferrell Foundation.  

 

Despite Trump’s order, intelligence agencies are still reportedly pushing for redactions in the final batch of secret files, causing friction with the White House. A Trump administration official expressed frustration, telling Axios, “This is total deep state bullshit.”
