The Trump administration has released over 230,000 pages of previously classified FBI records related to the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr., including details of the investigation, surveillance, and manhunt for his killer, James Earl Ray. The release, ordered by executive directive, comes despite strong opposition from King's family, who worry about misinterpretation and damage to his legacy. Critics accuse the administration of using the MLK files as a distraction from demands to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Early analysis suggests the files contain little new information, but they provide a centralized resource for researchers and the public.
The move has reignited debates over government transparency, historical accountability, and the selective release of sensitive documents.
