The FBI recently discovered a group of over what is being described as a tranche of 2,400 records, or reports, that consists of 14,000 still undisclosed pages of documents tied to the late President John F. Kennedy's assassination, Axios reported Monday. These records were never provided to the board that reviews and discloses the documents, 

The discovery comes less than a month after President Donald Trump ordered the declassification of all records related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The agencies have until March 9 to come up with a plan to release the information.

The existence of the 2,400 records was reported to the White House on Friday. They were allegedly found during the FBI review under the declassification order. They were disclosed when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its plan to disclose the assassination records.

It is not clear what the records detail, but experts told Axios that it is unlikely it will definitively prove whether the assassination was part of a broader conspiracy, or whether gunman Lee Harvey Oswald was acting alone on Nov. 22, 1963.

"This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously," said Jefferson Morley, according to Axios. Morley is an expert on the assassination and vice president of the nonpartisan Mary Ferrell Foundation, the nation's largest source of online records of Kennedy's assassination. 

"The FBI is finally saying, 'Let's respond to the president's order,' instead of keeping the secrecy going," Morley said.
