The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of FBI records related to the 1968 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 murder by James Earl Ray. Critics, including King's relatives and civil rights leaders, argue the release could be used to tarnish King's legacy and distract from demands to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Some analysts say the files contain little new information, while others urge caution in interpreting the documents.
The move has reignited debates over government transparency, privacy, and the selective release of sensitive records.
