The Trump administration has released over 230,000 pages of previously classified FBI documents related to the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
The files detail the FBI's surveillance of King, the investigation into his murder, 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 like the Epstein files. Early analysis by historians and academics indicates that the documents contain little new information.
The files are now publicly accessible through the National Archives.
