The Trump administration has released over 230,000 pages of previously classified FBI records related to the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
The documents detail the FBI's investigation, including surveillance of King, internal memos, and information about the assassin James Earl Ray. The release was made despite strong opposition from King's family, who called for empathy and respect and questioned the timing, suggesting it was a distraction from other controversies such as the Epstein files. Early analysis by historians and academics indicates that the files contain little new information.
The records are now publicly accessible through the National Archives.
