Donald Trump’s plan to release the files tied to the assassination of John F. Kennedy appear to have hit a snag as the FBI has discovered around 2,400 new records that have not been reviewed.
In late January, Trump signed an executive order authorizing the release of the remaining classified records about the 1963 shooting in one of his first acts after returning to the White House.
As the FBI has gone about reviewing about 14,000 pages of documents in response to the order, the new set of records were tipped to the White House on Friday.
For now, it remains unclear what the newly discovered reports contain but one anonymous Trump aide was furious, calling it ‘total Deep State bulls**t.’
Another said: ‘When POTUS hears about this stonewalling, he’s gonna hit the roof.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House for comment.
Experts claim that it’s actually a good sign that Americans can finally see full transparency regarding the shooting.
‘This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously. The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going,’ Jefferson Morley, an expert on the Kennedy murder told Axios.
However, the continued frustration could see the Trump administration completely bypass the normal standard.
‘Don’t be surprised if all these records just suddenly wind up online. He wants to move on and call this a promise kept,’ said one Trump advisor.
The document bombshell was revealed to the Trump administration after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence had filed its plan to disclose the records.
Surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald, a file on a Cuban hitman, and the president’s plan to obliterate the CIA are among bombshell revelations that could be contained within secret JFK assassination files.
Kennedy was assassinated in downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963, as his motorcade passed in front of the Texas School Book Depository building.
Gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, shot from a sixth-floor sniper’s perch, and was himself gunned down two days later.
The Warren Commission concluded Oswald acted alone, but conspiracy theories have run riot ever since.
A collection of over 5 million government records at the National Archives was required to be opened by 2017, unless there were any exemptions designated by the president.
But about 3,600 of those records still have redactions and haven’t yet been fully released.
As he ordered their declassification with the stroke of a pen in the Oval Office, Trump said: ‘All will be revealed.’
The executive order, obtained by DailyMail.com, said: ‘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.’
