Trump Unleashes MLK Files: Controversy Erupts!

On January 23, merely three days into his second term, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14176, which seeks to declassify documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. To date, only JFK’s records from November 22, 1963, have been released. Discussions around these files have persisted for years, revealing gaps that fostered enduring conspiracy theories about Lee Harvey Oswald’s role. The documents regarding Dr. King's assassination could unveil new divisive issues.
