Trump’s government releases documents of Martin Luther King Jr murder
(MENAFN) The U.S. administration under President Donald Trump has made public more than 230,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., as announced by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
This release comes after almost six decades of unresolved questions surrounding King’s assassination, according to a post by Gabbard on the social media platform X.
"The documents include details about the FBI's investigation into the assassination of MLK, discussion of potential leads, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, information about James Earl Ray's former cellmate who stated he discussed with Ray an alleged assassination plot, and more," Gabbard stated.
Earlier this year, on January 23, just days after taking office, Trump signed an executive order to declassify remaining files related to the assassinations of King, former President John F. Kennedy, and Robert F. Kennedy.
Martin Luther King Jr. remains a central figure in America’s civil rights history, renowned for his dedication to nonviolent activism against racial segregation and inequality, and his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech.
