The Trump administration has released over 230,000 pages of previously classified FBI records related to the 1968 assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr., despite strong objections from King's family. The documents, which had been sealed since 1977, detail the FBI's investigation and surveillance of King, but early analysis suggests they contain little new information. Critics, including King's daughter Bernice King, argue that the timing of the release is a deliberate distraction from the ongoing controversy over unreleased files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The King family has called for empathy and respect, expressing concern that the release could be used to attack King's legacy.
The files are now publicly accessible through the National Archives.
