The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of previously classified FBI documents related to the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
The files, which include surveillance records and internal memos, were made public 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 demands to unseal files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Early analysis suggests the documents offer little new information, but their publication has reignited debates about government transparency, privacy, and the ongoing impact of King's work.
The files are now accessible through the National Archives, marking a significant moment in the public's ability to scrutinize the FBI's historical actions.
