The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of previously classified FBI records related to the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
This move, made under an executive order, comes despite strong objections from King's family, who fear the documents could be misused to tarnish his legacy. Critics argue the timing of the release is a political distraction from the ongoing controversy over unreleased files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Early analysis suggests the files contain little new information, but their public availability marks a significant moment in government transparency.
The release has sparked debate over privacy, historical interpretation, and the motives behind selective declassification.
