The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of 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, include FBI surveillance files, internal memos, and details about the investigation into King's killer, James Earl Ray. Historians and analysts say the files reveal little new information but provide a comprehensive look at the FBI's extensive monitoring of King and the case. The release has sparked criticism from King's family and others, who argue it could be used to tarnish his legacy and is a distraction from demands to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The move is seen as part of a broader debate over government transparency and the selective release of sensitive documents.
