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 FBI's surveillance of King and the investigation into his death. The release, ordered by an executive order, comes despite strong objections from King's family, who warn the documents could be misused to tarnish his legacy. Critics, including King's daughter Bernice King, 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 their publication has reignited debates over government transparency and the treatment of civil rights leaders.
The documents are now publicly available through the National Archives.
