The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of FBI records related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., despite strong objections from King's family.
The files, which had been sealed since 1977, include details about FBI surveillance and the investigation into King's murder. Historians and analysts say the documents reveal little new information, but the release has reignited debates about government transparency and the potential misuse of sensitive historical records. Critics accuse the administration of using the MLK files as a distraction from demands to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
King's family and civil rights leaders urge caution in interpreting the files and continue to call for the release of other high-profile government records.
