The FBI has discovered roughly 2,400 new records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK), pursuant to a recent file search following President Donald Trump’s recent executive order.

In a statement sent to The Epoch Times on Feb. 11, the bureau confirmed it had found thousands of new records related to the assassination. The FBI conducted a new file search after Trump signed an order on Jan. 23 calling for plans to be drafted to release any remaining records on the assassinations of JFK, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
