The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of FBI records related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., despite strong opposition from King's family.
The documents, sealed since 1977, detail the FBI's surveillance of King and the investigation into his 1968 murder. Critics, including King's relatives and civil rights leaders, argue the release could be used to tarnish King's legacy and distract from the administration's refusal to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. While some hail the move as a victory for transparency, early analysis suggests the files contain little new information.
The release has sparked debate over privacy, historical accountability, and the motives behind selective government transparency.
