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, include details of 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 ongoing controversy over unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files. Some analysts say the files contain little new information, while others warn of potential misinterpretation.
The move has sparked debate over government transparency, privacy, and the selective release of sensitive historical records.
