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 on 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 motives behind selective declassification. Critics, including King's daughter Bernice King, argue the move is a distraction from demands to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The release has also raised concerns about the potential misuse of the documents to tarnish King's legacy.
