The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of FBI records related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., defying strong opposition from King's family.
The documents, sealed since 1977, include surveillance files, internal FBI memos, and details about the investigation into King's murder and his convicted assassin, James Earl Ray. Historians and early reviewers say the files reveal little new information, but the release has sparked controversy, with critics accusing the administration of trying to distract from other scandals and potentially tarnishing King's legacy. King's family and civil rights leaders have urged the public to approach the documents with caution and empathy.
The move has reignited debates about government transparency, privacy, and the ongoing impact of King's legacy.
