Donald Trump’s order to release the files tied to the assassination of John F. Kennedy has already unearthed nearly 2,400 new documents that could shed light on the mystery.
In late January, Trump signed an executive order authorizing the release of the remaining classified records about the 1963 shooting in one of his first acts upon returning to the White House.
The White House was alerted on Friday that the FBI discovered about 14,000 pages of documents as the agency set about reviewing the secret files in response to the order.
‘This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,’ Jefferson Morley, an expert on the Kennedy murder told Axios.
‘The FBI is finally saying, “Let’s respond to the president’s order,” instead of keeping the secrecy going.’
While experts claimed the discovery could let to a new era of transparency regarding the shooting – Trump insiders worried the development was a stall tactic.
One anonymous Trump aide was furious, calling the development ‘total Deep State bulls**t.’
Another said: ‘When POTUS hears about this stonewalling, he’s gonna hit the roof.’
