The Trump administration has declassified and released over 230,000 pages of FBI records related to the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., despite significant objections from his family. The decision to unveil these previously classified documents has raised eyebrows and sparked controversy, with some arguing that the timing coincided with rising pressure for other disclosures. Family members, including Bernice King, have expressed their discontent, insisting that the investigation into King’s assassination remains flawed and that key suspicions about the involvement of James Earl Ray are not adequately addressed in the released files.
