The FBI has uncovered thousands more undisclosed JFK assassination files following President Donald Trump's executive order to release them.

I think Trump's first three weeks in office can be described with two simple words... executive orders.

Yep, the 47th POTUS signed off on numerous executive orders, which included halting the ban of TikTok, changing laws on immigration, and declaring that there are 'only two genders', just hours upon his return to the Oval Office.

A few days into the job, Trump signed off an executive order that would see the files connected to the deaths of Marin Luther King Jr., President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy declassified.

Part of the newly signed order states, as per Mail Online: "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 transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay."

It was Axios who first reported 2,400 records tied to the infamous assassination had been released following a review.

The FBI told Fox News: "In 2020, the FBI opened the Central Records Complex and began a multi-year effort to first ship and then electronically inventory and store closed case files from FBI field offices across the country.

"The resulting, more comprehensive records inventory, coupled with the technologic 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 pursuant to President Trump's Executive Order issued on January 23, 2025, regarding the declassification of the assassination files of JFK, RFK, and MLK. The search resulted in approximately 2400 newly inventoried and digitized records that were previously unrecognized as related 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."

Before the latest revelation, a JFK assassination expert detailed the 'embarrassing' secrets which might be revealed once Trump releases the files.

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