FBI uncovers 2,400 JFK assassination files after Donald Trump's order: Report

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has uncovered around 2,400 secret records related to the assassination of former US president John F Kennedy that were never provided to a panel tasked with reviewing and disclosing the documents, an Axios report claimed.

The revelation came as a part of the review triggered by US President Donald Trump's executive order seeking the declassification of the files on the assassinations of JFK, along with Senator Robert F Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

The FBI found that the records, which have been kept secret to this date, are stored in 14,000 pages of documents.

The White House was made aware of the discovery last week when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its plan to disclose the assassination documents under President Trump's orders.
