CapIn - The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has discovered approximately 2,400 new documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. This discovery followed an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in January, requesting the declassification of all documents related to the case.

According to an FBI statement last Tuesday, a re-examination of the archives was conducted after Trump issued the order, revealing hundreds of previously unrecognized documents as part of the Kennedy assassination case file. The FBI also stated that these newly inventoried and digitized documents have been transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration for inclusion in the ongoing declassification process.

Although the FBI has not disclosed the contents of these newly found documents, public interest in the case remains high even six decades after the incident.

Last week, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent recommendations to Trump regarding which classified documents related to the Kennedy assassination should be released to the public. However, details of the plan have not been made public, and there is no certainty about when these documents will be released.

The assassination of JFK in Dallas, Texas, has officially been attributed to a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. However, many Americans believe Kennedy's death involved a broader conspiracy, despite the Department of Justice and other government agencies maintaining the initial conclusion.

As part of the same executive order, Trump also pledged to release documents related to the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968. However, Trump has allowed additional time to develop a plan for the release of these documents.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK, has stated that he believes the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in his uncle's death—a claim that the CIA has denied. He has also asserted that his father was killed by multiple gunmen, a statement that contradicts official government reports. (Reuters/SkyNews)

Apple Reaffirms Siri Privacy After $95 Million Settlement

Jan 8 (CapIns/Reuters) – Apple (AAPL.O) has clarified its commitment to user privacy, asserting that data from its Siri voice assistant has never been sold or used for marketing profiles.

The lawsuit accused Apple of routinely recording private conversations triggered by unintentional activations of Siri and sharing them with third parties, including advertisers. While Apple denied the allegations and did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement, the agreement could result in tens of millions of Apple customers receiving up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, such as iPhones and Apple Watches. “Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never made it available for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose,” the company reiterated on Wednesday.
