Axios has learned of the FBI's discovery of 2,400 secret JFK assassination records
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has found 2.4 thousand records on the assassination of the 35th American President John F. Kennedy, which were previously classified. This was reported on February 10 by the news portal Axios, citing sources.
"The FBI has discovered about 2.4 thousand records related to the assassination of President Kennedy, which were never provided to the commission responsible for the review and disclosure of documents," the portal reports.
These records are outlined in 14 thousand pages of documents, which the FBI found during the inspection, initiated by the order of US President Donald Trump of January 23, requiring the disclosure of all records on the assassination of Kennedy.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, the White House became aware of the existence of these documents on February 7, when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence presented its plan to disclose the records of the assassination. The contents of the discovered records are highly classified. Axios also notes that the three sources who told the portal of the existence of these recordings have not seen the documents themselves.
"The FBI is finally responding to the president's order instead of maintaining secrecy," Jefferson Morley, an assassination expert and vice president of the nonpartisan Mary Ferrell Foundation, the nation's largest source of online records of the Kennedy assassination, shared with the portal.
Earlier, on January 24, The New York Post reported that Jack Schlossberg, grandson of former 35th US President John F. Kennedy, criticized Trump over his decision to declassify documents about the circumstances of his grandfather's case. He also emphasized that he sees nothing heroic in this act.
Before that, on January 23, Trump announced that he would declassify all remaining files related to the assassinations of President (1961-1963) John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
Kennedy was wounded by a rifle shot on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a motorcade. He died half an hour later at Parkland Hospital.
