The Trump administration has released over 230,000 pages of FBI and federal records related to the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., despite strong objections from King's family.
The files, which had been sealed for decades, detail extensive FBI surveillance of King but have so far revealed little new information according to historians. The release, ordered under a Trump-era executive order, has sparked criticism from King's relatives and activists, who argue it could be an attempt to distract from other political scandals, such as the Jeffrey Epstein case. Some family members and critics have called for similar transparency regarding other high-profile investigations. The move has reignited debates over government transparency, privacy, and the legacy of Dr. King.
