WASHINGTON, D.C.: The FBI has found thousands of new documents about the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy after President Donald Trump ordered the release of secret government files on the 1963 shooting.

The FBI said it searched its records again after Trump signed an order in January. This search uncovered about 2,400 documents that were not previously recognized as part of the JFK case. The FBI is now sending these documents to the National Archives for declassification.

Last week, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence gave Trump recommendations on which classified documents should be released. However, details about the plan or the release date were not shared.

Even after 60 years, many people remain fascinated by Kennedy's assassination. While the U.S. government has long said that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, polls show that many Americans believe there was a larger conspiracy, and that Oswald may not even have been a part of it.

As part of the same order, Trump also promised to release files on the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy, both killed in 1968. However, he has delayed those releases for now.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK, has claimed the CIA was involved in his uncle's death—an allegation the agency denies. He also believes his father was killed by multiple gunmen, which goes against official reports.

Historians doubt that the newly found files will reveal anything shocking or change the official understanding of the JFK assassination. However, some believe the documents might show that the CIA knew more about Oswald than it admitted.

Experts say some questions may never be answered, and conspiracy theories about JFK's death are likely to continue.
