White House head Donald Trump signed an executive order declassifying documents on the assassination of the 35th US President John F. Kennedy on 23 January. The FBI has so far discovered about 2,400 records that were never provided to the commission responsible for reviewing and disclosing the documents.
This is reported by Axios.
The publication writes that the still-secret records are contained in 14,000 pages of documents that the FBI discovered during the search after Trump's executive order. This discovery, 61 years after JFK's assassination in Dallas - is the result of decades of the government's unwillingness to release all documents related to the assassination, which has spawned a host of conspiracy theories.
The White House became aware of the existing new documents on Friday when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence presented its plan to disclose the assassination records.
The contents of the newly found records are a top-guarded secret. Three sources who told Axios of their existence said they had not seen the documents. However, the discovery of thousands of records about one of the most carefully researched events in U.S. history is likely to raise questions about review and disclosure procedures across the government.
Experts say the remaining records to be uncovered - as well as a recently discovered series of 2,400 reports - are not likely to prove conclusively whether Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin or part of a wider conspiracy.
The publication reminded that when Trump was president in 2017, he postponed the disclosure of the records discovered by the government on the advice of the CIA. US President Joe Biden then ordered to limit the release of the records, which still ‘did not fully comply with the spirit of the JFK Records Act’.
Three sources who discussed the issue with Trump told Axios that he has regretted over the years that he did not publish all the JFK documents in his first term.
The publication also added that Trump's current executive order includes a plan to release the records of the assassination of Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. by 9 March.
However, despite the order, various intelligence agencies in possession of the assassination records are still recommending editing them.
In addition, the recently discovered FBI files may be relevant to an ongoing lawsuit filed by the Mary Ferrell Foundation against the Biden administration in 2022. It alleges that federal agencies had more documents related to the assassination that they did not turn over to the National Archives. They include:
the prison records of gangster Carlos Marcello, who claimed he was involved in the assassination.
the CIA files of George Joannidis. He was chief of covert operations in the CIA's Miami office and was an investigative officer for a CIA-funded group of New Orleans exiles who had several meetings with Oswald before the shooting.
Joannidis was also accused of misleading the House committee investigating the assassination by not disclosing his ties to Oswald.
