The Trump administration has released over 230,000 pages of previously classified FBI documents related to the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., despite strong objections from King's family.
The files, which detail years of FBI surveillance and investigation, were made public following an executive order, but historians say they reveal little new information. The move has sparked controversy, with critics and King's relatives accusing the administration of using the release to distract from demands for transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case. King's daughter, Bernice King, and other family members have called for empathy and respect, urging the government to also release Epstein-related files.
The release has reignited debates over government transparency, privacy, and the legacy of the civil rights leader.
