This exclusive report just breaking.

In an exclusive breaking development, a source at the FBI has confirmed with Examiner.com that Michael Jackson's FBI file will be declassified and released today.

The FBI file that will be released today on Tuesday December 22, will withhold certain information, an FBI agent told Examiner.com this morning.

There are nine exemptions the FBI can use to withhold information from the public. Title FIve of the U.S. Codes Section 552 gives the reasons why the FBI can withhold the information, and it also explains the reason why certain information can be held private after the rest of the file is declassified.

Michael Jackson's FBI file contains 679 pages that were reviewed by the government agency. 333 pages will be released, leaving 343 pages of the late pop star's file to remain classified information. Those pages will remain secret.

The classified documents to be released today pertaining to Michael Jackson consist of six files, the FBI told Examiner.com.

The FBI processed ninety-five classifications. The file emanating from FBI headquarters consists of several small files. There are seven files that comprise Michael Jackson's FBI documents.

The main FBI file for Michael Joseph Jackson is file number HQ 1148159. The Quantico file number is 252B-1R-6808. The LEGAT London file is 62-DLO-1179. The rest of Michael Jackson's FBI files are Los Angeles files. Their corresponding file numbers are 9A-LA-142276, 62-D-LA-236081, 62D-LA162715, 305B-LA-239204.

An agent at the FBI told Examiner.com this morning that the law enforcement agency is working hard to get this file declassified today, and that they are expecting to be able to make today's deadline.

This Examiner.com column was the first to break the news that Jackson's file would be released, reporting it at noon Pacific Time on December. 18.

    I'm not sure why people are worried. I know Michael didn't do any of those things he was accused of, so once people can see the files it will only prove to the nonbelievers....even though, some stubborn people will still believe he did all those things. I'm more interested than anything to see what else the files could have in them. And curious what the files will give...
