Following President Donald Trump’s unilateral order to release the JFK assassination papers, the FBI discovered thousands more previously unknown files.

I believe Trump’s first three weeks in office can be summarized in two words: executive orders.

Just hours after returning to the Oval Office, the 47th president issued multiple executive orders, including lifting the TikTok ban, amending immigration rules, and announcing that there are ‘only two genders.’.

A few days after taking office, Trump issued an executive order declassifying data related to the killings of Martin Luther King Jr., President John F. Kennedy, and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

According to Mail Online, the newly signed order states that “more than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events.”

“Their families and the American people deserve clarity and honesty. It is in the national interest to promptly divulge all records relating to these assassinations.”

Axios initially reported that a review had released 2,400 data related to the historic killing.

The FBI informed Fox News that “in 2020, the FBI opened the Central Records Complex and began a multi-year effort to first ship, then electronically inventory, and store closed case files from FBI field offices across the country.”

“The resulting, more comprehensive records inventory, coupled with the technological advances in automating the FBI’s record-keeping processes, allows us to more quickly search and locate records.”

They added, “The FBI conducted a new records search following President Trump’s Executive Order dated January 23, 2025, regarding the declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination files.” The search yielded roughly 2400 newly inventoried and digitized materials previously unidentified as belonging to the JFK assassination case file.

“The FBI has made the appropriate notifications of the newly discovered documents and is working to transfer them to the National Archives and Records Administration for inclusion in the ongoing declassification process.”

A JFK assassination expert described the “embarrassing” information that could surface whenever Trump publishes the papers before the most recent disclosure.

Gerald Posner, author of Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK, told Fox News, “I think we could actually find the files that are very embarrassing to the CIA, which is one of the reasons they’ve held on to these for so long.”
