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.
This move, made despite strong opposition from King's family, fulfills a Trump-era executive order calling for transparency. The files detail the FBI's investigation into King's assassination and its surveillance of him, but early analysis suggests they reveal little new information. Critics, including King's family and public figures, argue the release is a distraction from demands for transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The documents are now publicly available through the National Archives.
